| Neue Features in Lotus Notes/Domino 6.5 |
Drag-and-drop mail/calendar entry creation
In Notes 6.5, users can create new Mail, Calendar, and To Do documents by dragging a mail document and dropping it on the appropriate bookmark. Calendar and To Do entries can also be dragged and dropped. For example, a calendar entry for a meeting with a long description can be dragged onto the Mail bookmark to create a new memo that contains all the meeting information. Similarly, a To Do item can be dragged onto the Calendar bookmark to create a new appointment.
Rename a resource
Allows users to rename existing rooms or resources, and still maintain existing reservations.
Reset times on some or all instances of a repeating meeting
Users can now reschedule repeating meetings with greater granularity. A Chair now has the ability to reschedule a set of meetings to an absolute time.
Mail
Ability to set Notes as default e-mail client (Win2000/XP)
The Notes 6.5 client takes advantage of a new UI component under "Add/Remove" programs that Microsoft provides in the Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and XP platforms, to allow users to select Notes as the default e-mail client.
"Follow Up" feature
The new "Follow Up" feature allows a user to flag a message as requiring some type of future action; the flag appears next to the message in the user's view (e.g., Inbox). Users can sort on the column containing the flag, such that all "to-be-followed-up" items appear grouped together in the view. When the user has completed their follow-up work, the item is un-flagged.
The Follow Up functionality applies to mail items only, and can be accomplished from any mail view except "Trash" and "Drafts".
QuickRules to help manage junk mail (spam)
The QuickRules feature enables end-users to create mail rules more efficiently, in order to avoid spam e-mails coming from the Internet, by allowing them to create Filters (Rules) using very few steps. Most of the information required to create the QuickRule will be supplied automatically, so that the user only has to determine the Conditions and Actions under which the QuickRule will execute.
Instant Messaging (integration with Sametime)
From the Notes client, users can now take advantage of an integrated Sametime awareness of names, including active names in the mail 'Sender' field, that shows whether or not that person is currently logged into Sametime. The user then has the ability to right-click on those names to start a chat.
Replied to/forwarded mail indicator
This feature provides a way for users to easily determine whether they have responded to or forwarded a particular document. Icon indicators are provided at the view level, and an indicator in the note header area, to show that a Reply/Forward has occurred.
'All Unread' view
The "All Unread" view allows users to see only the unread documents in their mail file.
Added time to Inbox date column
Users can now see the time as well as the date in the mail Inbox view.
Option to not include distribution lists when printing
When printing memos or Calendar entries, users can now specify whether to print the contents of the entire "To:" or "cc:" fields, or limit it to three lines. This feature is also available to users as a roaming preference.
Views
Support for view export to CSV format
Users now have the option to export Notes view data in CSV format. The Comma Separated Value (CSV) format is a simple ASCII text file with one record per line whose fields are separated by commas. The documents in the view will appear as individual records in the CSV file.
Improved manual URL entry
Users can more easily enter a URL if the Address toolbar is closed.
Prompt for Read and Unread
A prompt has been added when users select "Mark all Read" or "Mark all Unread".
Mozilla support for Linux
Domino Web Access supports Mozilla 1.3.1 on Red Hat Linux 7.2, 8.0, 9 and SuSE Linux 8.0 (including united Linux 1.0).
Calendaring and Scheduling
Multi-time zone support
Calendar entries and the Calendar view now support multi-time zones, allowing calendar entries where the Start time is in one time zone, and the End time is in another (for example, on a cross-country flight).
Instant Messaging (integration with Sametime)
From the Notes client, users can now take advantage of an integrated Sametime awareness of names, including active names in the mail 'Sender' field, that shows whether or not that person is currently logged into Sametime. The user then has the ability to right-click on those names to start a chat.
"Pencil-in" a meeting
Calendar entries (meeting, To Do, appointment) now have the option to be 'pencilled-in'. When an item is marked in this way, other people with access to the user's calendar can see details of the event, but the time appears as free time to people who do a free time search.
Support for Group To Do
Users can create group To Do items that can be assigned to another person or group.
Ability to integrate additional calendar formats in 'Welcome' page
Users can now choose to have 1 - 10 days of their schedule display in their Welcome page; previously, only the 1-day Calendar format was available.
Full C&S delegation model
Users can delegate the scheduling and response to meeting invitations to another user.
DOLS
Plug-in for Linux Mozilla
DWA provides plug-in support on Linux, Mozilla 1.3.1 only.
Support for truncated documents or applicable replication filtering (e.g., no attachments)
Improves the replication setting for DOLS by reducing the size of attachments brought down to the desktop. Documents are truncated at 100 KB.
Forms
Phone Message form
Users can now fill out a phone message form that is sent via e-mail to inform someone of a phone call.
Mail
Local archiving
Users can choose to archive locally to their own workstations (Internet Explorer only).

New messages can be sent and filed to a folder, in one step.
Support for user-defined dictionary
Allows users to add words to, and reference spell-check against, their personal dictionary.
Send encrypted mail
Added the ability to send encrypted mail, sign, and verify Notes-encrypted messages.

Block Sender rule
Users can set a new mail rule that blocks mail from a specified sender.
View Unread
Users now have a new view option that shows unread messages only.
Internet-style reply

"Follow Up" feature
The new "Follow Up" feature allows a user to flag a message as requiring some type of future action; the flag appears next to the message in the user's view (e.g., Inbox). Users can sort on the column containing the flag, such that all "to-be-followed-up" items appear grouped together in the view. When the user has completed their follow-up work, the item is un-flagged.
The Follow Up functionality applies to mail items only, and can be accomplished from any mail view except "Trash" and "Drafts".
Create page breaks
Users have the ability to create page breaks in mail messages.
Performance
Ability to see total database size
Users can view the total size of their databases and percentage of their database quota used. This is helpful in allowing users to track how close they are to exceeding their quota.
Open in New Window
This new menu option allows users to open any of the major functional areas, such as mail or calendar, in a new window.
GZIP compression
Domino Web Access uses compression (GZIP format) to reduce network bandwidth consumption and provide better performance, particularly for users with slow network connections.
Support for name change requests
The Administration Process (AdminP) function now handles the client interaction necessary for name change requests.

Printing from views
Users can select and print multiple documents in a view, or print a selected view.

Utilities
Integration with Redirect Utility
Domino Web Access Redirect allows users to access their mail file without needing to know the name of their mail file or the name of their mail server. Using Domino authentication methods, Domino Web AccessRedirect will redirect a user's browser to their mail file based on their username/password. Users need only know the name of the Domino Web AccessRedirect server. For more information on this utility, see "Use Domino Web Access Redirect to Access Mail" in the 'Things You Need to Know - Domino Web Access' section of these release notes.
