There is no 64bit version of the plugin because there is no 64bit Lotus Client.
  1. With 0.0.11.19 version plugin use lotus API dynamicly (Set PATH environment to Lotus Notes bins directory is now not required). If plugin can't load propertly nnotes.dll that must be found in Lotus Client location (stored in HCLM/Software/Lotus/Notes/Path registry value by installer), plugin will not load.
  2. Installation:
    • Unpack lotusnotify.dll plugin in plugins directory.
    • In options find plugins->LotusNotify page.
    • Click button try detect - it will read settings from your lotus.ini.
    • Enter your lotus password into password field, then click button autoregister to add plugin as trusted in Lotus Notes.
  3. To show popups plugin requires popups option (yapp.dll plugin M->popups->enable popups) enabled
  4. If you wish, to open note in Lotus Notes Client by click it with left mouse button:
    • Open Lotus Notes Client
    • Open database that should be opened
    • Open any document (eMail)
    • In document properties go to tag <+>
    • In identifier field you can find link to this document build as: notes://server/database/view/document (f.e. Notes:///C125709600375164/01D6C45C67A7DC98C3256C70004F4814/94FDCE1037A90037C125726C004795DD where server is not given)
    • copy part of this link without part containing document description that should be replaced with variable name %OID% This variable plugin will replace with note id notes://server/database/view/%OID% (in our example it will be Notes:///C125709600375164/01D6C45C67A7DC98C3256C70004F4814/%OID%)
    • above build link set in plugin properties field: "Left button click cmd", and leave "Command parameters" field empty.
  5. With version 0.0.15.26 you can store your lotus password in miranda, and buildin authentication let miranda connect to Lotus API without prompt for password. You need to set some options before use this feature:
    • add in your notes.ini file (Lotus Notes installation folder) line (you can do it automatic with button "autoregister" in plugin options dialog. If this option is checked, everytime plugin start, it verify (in depend of given answer) if appropriate entry in lotus.ini exists and modifies it if required):
    • EXTMGR_ADDINS=lotusnotify
    • or if EXTMGR_ADDINS line already exists, simply add new extension after comma f.e.:
    • EXTMGR_ADDINS=someextension, lotusnotify
    • don't forget to set your Lotus password in plugin options!!!
    • Now you can (if need/want) set security option that I suggest to disable in second Anaswer of FAQ below.
  6. With version 0.0.14.25 added messages filter - for sender and subject fields (primitive spam remover). For me this function is used to disable notification about emails sent by me (it's same new entries in Lotus Notes database)

FAQ

Could i keep Notes Client runing on my machine or it should be closed?
There's no problem with that I think (not yet :)).
It always ask my password for id-file when it tries to check for e-mails.
This is Lotus Client security build in solution, and its possible to disabe it (it decrease safety):
It's somewhere like (have polish lotus client) menu File->Protection(or security)->User protection-> basic security data (first tab)->Don't ask for password in other Lotus Notes aplications.If I find on Lotus API some other solition it will be updated (And I found, see point 5 of installation instructions)
Miranda start with the error, that nNotes.dll not found. What is the solution?
nnotes.dll is placed in Lotus installation directory, and miranda have to know that. You can do it adding in PATH (my computer->properies->advanced->environment variables->system variables) directory where lotus exist (where nnotes.dll can be find)
