Mail clients

Notes®

A Notes® client can interact with a Domino® server using either Notes® protocols or Internet protocols, such as IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. If your organization uses Notes® clients, select any of these protocols for server access. Enable the protocol on the server that clients use for access.

Notes® clients access the Domino® Directory using either Notes® protocols or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Users can create a local replica of their mail file while maintaining a complete mail file on a Domino® server. Users can work off-line and then connect to their server to replicate changes to documents and send mail.

HCL Traveler for Microsoft Outlook

HCL Traveler for Microsoft™ Outlook (HTMO) provides users with Mail, Calendar, and Contacts features that allow them to work with their HCL Notes® mail through a Microsoft Outlook client interface. HTMO requires an HCL Traveler server. For more information, see the HCL Traveler documentation.

iNotes®

Users with mail files on a Domino server that runs the HTTP service can retrieve and send mail using the browser-based client iNotes. To enable users to use iNotes, register them in Domino as iNotes users with a Notes mail template.

IMAP clients

Users with IMAP clients can download mail to a local mail file or interact with and manage mail directly on a Domino® server that runs the IMAP service. They use the IMAP protocol to read and manage mail, use SMTP to send mail, and can use LDAP to access the Domino® Directory.

Enable the IMAP service and enable the SMTP listener to let IMAP clients use the Domino® server for mail.

POP3 clients

Users with POP3 clients can download mail to a local mail file and interact with it there, as well as leave a copy of the mail in their file on the Domino® server. POP3 clients retrieve mail from a Domino® server that runs the POP3 service, use SMTP to send mail, and can use LDAP to access the Domino® Directory.

Enable the POP3 service and enable the SMTP listener so that POP3 clients can use the Domino® server for mail.
