Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Configuring iNotes®
IBM® iNotes® (previously IBM Domino® Web Access) provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail and to Notes calendar and scheduling features. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes.ini file settings to complete the full implementation of IBM iNotes.
Creating mail policy settings for iNotes® users
IBM® Domino® administrators can use a number of mail policy settings.
Setting up automatic refresh for the Inbox
By default, IBM® iNotes® users can set a general mail preference so that their Inbox is updated automatically when new mail arrives. Additionally, if you have enabled the unread count feature for mail folders so that the count is updated automatically, the count is updated automatically for system folders (Inbox and Junk) when new mail arrives.

IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Documentation
Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
- What's new in IBM® Domino® 10?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in IBM® Domino® 10.
- Overview
  Welcome to IBM® Domino® Administrator Help.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
- Planning
  Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
- Configuring
  Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
  - Configuring a network
    This section presents the planning concepts and setup procedures necessary for a successful IBM® Domino® deployment over a network. It provides information on network protocols from a Domino perspective but does not attempt to provide general network information.
  - Configuring users and servers
    Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
  - Editing the NOTES.INI file
    You should rarely, if ever, need to modify a server's or client's NOTES.INI file. The NOTES.INI file contains many settings that Domino® and Notes® rely on to work properly. An accidental or incorrect change may cause Domino or Notes to run unpredictably. Therefore, you should edit the NOTES.INI file only if special circumstances occur or if IBM® Support Services recommends that you do so.
  - Configuring directory services
    This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
  - Configuring messaging
    This section provides an overview of messaging and describes how to set up mail routing, how to set up and customize mail servers, and how to track mail.
  - Configuring iNotes®
    IBM® iNotes® (previously IBM Domino® Web Access) provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail and to Notes calendar and scheduling features. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes.ini file settings to complete the full implementation of IBM iNotes.
    - iNotes® ultra-light mode
      The ultra-light mode of IBM® iNotes® is designed for use on a mobile device. It is also the accessible mode available on Microsoft™ Windows™ operating systems (Win32) using Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or later.
    - Getting started with iNotes®
      After installing and configuring IBM Notes and enabling IBM iNotes, perform these tasks to enable users to get up and running with iNotes.
    - Creating mail policy settings for iNotes® users
      IBM® Domino® administrators can use a number of mail policy settings.
      - Showing the unread count on folders
        You can set a mail policy setting so that all folders, except for personal folders, display the number of unread messages next to the folder name in the navigator pane. This count automatically adjusts when a message is read, or when an unread message is moved from/to a folder. For personal folders, the count does not update automatically but rather a refresh icon displays next to the folder name and the count updates when users click the icon.
      - Enabling scroll hints
        You can enable scroll hints in the mail policy settings document.
      - Setting up automatic refresh for the Inbox
        By default, IBM® iNotes® users can set a general mail preference so that their Inbox is updated automatically when new mail arrives. Additionally, if you have enabled the unread count feature for mail folders so that the count is updated automatically, the count is updated automatically for system folders (Inbox and Junk) when new mail arrives.
      - Preventing users from requesting a return receipt
        IBM® iNotes® includes the mail policy setting Do not allow users to set return receipt. When enabled, this mail policy setting prevents users from setting a return receipt on their outgoing messages.
      - Enabling RSS feeds for iNotes®
        You can enable RSS feeds for IBM® iNotes® mail through mail policy settings or by using notes.ini file variables.
    - Creating security policy settings for iNotes® users
      To create or enforce security settings for IBM® iNotes® users, you must create a security policy settings document.
    - Desktop policy settings supported in iNotes®
      When applied to a user, these desktop policy settings lock down the associated user preferences in IBM® iNotes®. Any existing policies previously assigned to iNotes users are enforced.
    - Editing the configuration settings document for iNotes®
      Many of the features you enable using the configuration settings document can also be configured using policies.
    - Renaming an iNotes® user
      You rename an IBM® iNotes® user who has an iNotes ID and an IBM Notes® certified public key located in their person document in the Domino® Directory the same way you rename a Notes user.
    - Integrating with other applications
      IBM® iNotes® can be integrated with IBM Sametime® and IBM Connections.
    - Customizing iNotes®
      Once IBM® iNotes® has been installed and configured, you can customize your implementation in the following ways:
  - Configuring Web servers
    This section describes how to set up the IBM® Domino® Web server, the Domino Web Navigator, and other Web servers such as IBM HTTP.
  - Setting up a cluster
    Setting up a cluster includes the tasks of creating and verifying that it is working correctly, and then setting up user access, mail, replications, size quotas, directory assistance, roaming, web navigation, and use of a private LAN in the cluster.
- Securing

- Troubleshooting
  This section describes how to find and solve problems with IBM® Domino® server and Administrator client.

Setting up automatic refresh for the Inbox

By default, IBM® iNotes® users can set a general mail preference so that their Inbox is updated automatically when new mail arrives. Additionally, if you have enabled the unread count feature for mail folders so that the count is updated automatically, the count is updated automatically for system folders (Inbox and Junk) when new mail arrives.

About this task

To disable the automatic refresh feature, use the Refresh Inbox automatically setting in the mail policy settings document, iNotes Configuration tab. If you disable this setting, the associated mail preference Refresh Inbox automatically does not display in user preferences.
