Finding mail with Lotus Notes 7

lotus-notes

I did some reorganisation of my mail in Lotus Notes 7 this mornign, and seem to have lost some in the process.

Not knowing Notes very well, I have two questions:

  • if I selected some mail in the Inbox using the check-column, and dragged that mail into a folder, then selected some more mail in the Inbox, and hit the Del key, will the group of emails that were dragged into the other folder be deleted too, because I didn't unselect them?
  • is there a way to search in all folders, rather than just the current folder?

Best Answer

  • No, the moved documents get unselected, so they shouldn't have been deleted.
  • Use Full-text search (open your mail db > View > Toolbar > Search)

For any other database (other than mail db), open Application properties > go to sixth (Full Text) tab > select Create index.

Note that you have to be at least Designer in ACL to manipulate (create, change its properties, delete) db's full-text index.
