How often do you hear that the business is discussing moving mail platforms because “our users want X” where X is nothing to do with the server and everything to do with the client UI. Domino remains the best mail server available but often user dissatisfaction drives a move and that comes from being asked to use the wrong client or from a bad deployment. If you’re using Domino you have an ever expanding range of clients to choose from browsers, iNotes, Verse, Traveler with iOS integration, Android applications, POP3 and IMAP. Come to this session to learn how to find the right client to fit the business and keep your Domino infrastructure.

Almost No-One Is Complaining About Domino
✤ Are IBM updating Notes? ✤ Our users want a web mail client like Google ✤ IBM keep saying we should move to the cloud ✤ We no longer have an IT department to support the Notes client ✤ We need Outlook because we’ve bought X and it won’t integrate with Notes ✤ We’re thinking of moving to Google / O365 because our users like the client
Do not go on the offence
Do not go on the offence or the defence
and definitely not this…

Choosing A Client ✤ First talk to the business about ✤ What they don’t like in their current setup ✤ What they feel is missing ✤ What drives them crazy ✤ What would make their job easier
The difference between this
The difference between this & this
The difference between this & this isTHIS
The difference between this & this ✤ client choice ✤ configuration ✤ training isTHIS
There is no single option that suits everyone Domino is the only mail server out there that lets you choose the right client for each part of the business .. and not just one client either. Users can switch between clients seamlessly because the data source is the same regardless
The Notes Client ✤ It’s served us well for over 20 years ✤ no-one least of all IBM will claim that Notes is the mail client you should choose ✤ it still does things better than other mail clients ✤ but if all you’re doing is mail … well there are better options
WhyWe LoveThe Notes Client ✤ Searching / Full Text Index ✤ Mail In Databases ✤ Replication ✤ Offline working ✤ It was ahead of its time. But have people moved on?
. and it’s not going away ✤ IBM continue to update the client ✤ there are thousands upon thousands of Notes client apps out there ✤ there is also the ICAA (formerly Notes Browser Plug In) ✤ BUT it’s a big install and a lot of client management if all you want is mail and calendar ✤ what light browser clients have taught us is that people will accept less and simpler over more
iNotes & iNotes Lite
iNotes is a full featured browser based mail and calendaring client. Visually it’s very similar to the Notes client Includes contacts, notes, sametime integration, todos, OOO and delegation For phones with small screens, iNotes has a “lite” mode to minimise real estate but that also has less functionality in that mode

What DoYou Need? ✤ Domino ✤ Configured with HTTP ✤ make that HTTPS with a good strength SSL certificate ✤ Web Redirection database
Any Mail Client
POP and IMAP are protocols for collecting mail Most mail clients support both POP and IMAP Domino supports both You can configure any mail client you want to retrieve your mail via either of these protocols IMAP is more full featured and offers folder synchronisation for example
If POP & IMAP collect mail - how does your preferred client send it? It uses SMTP. any SMTP. it can be Domino. or in front of Domino
If there’s a mail client someone specifically wants to use POP/IMAP + SMTP will let them do that with Domino continuing to host the mail databases POP and IMAP don’t offer the range of services you get from an Enterprise mail server such as OOO, delegations and free time lookups
Domino in the Back, Party In The Front
What DoYou Need? ✤ Any mail client that supports IMAP or POP3 (so basically any mail client) ✤ Domino configured for secure authenticated IMAP or POP3 ✤ An authenticating SMTP relay ✤ Domino or something in front of Domino
Traveler
No matter your mobile device of choice* Traveler on your Domino server paired with the Traveler, Verse or native apps provide integrated mail , calendar, contacts , todos and encrypted mail *ok there are some exceptions
Domino in the Back, Party In The Front
What DoYou Need? ✤ The Traveler add-in for Domino ✤ DB2 for high availability across multiple servers ✤ HTTPS ✤ The Traveler app or, on iOS, the native mail and calendar apps
Mail For Microsoft Outlook
Standard Outlook client and UI supporting application plugins Syncs with Domino server for mail, calendar, contacts etc Delegation and OOO supported Offline mode and offline syncing Outlook mail merge, search and filtering supported
Domino in the Back, Party In The Front
What DoYou Need? ✤ Add-in to your Domino server ✤ a variant of Traveler which runs as the Traveler task ✤ supports High Availability and DB2 or Derby db source ✤ Separate client add-in for Outlook which supports 32bit and 64bit versions and releases 2010, 2013, 2016 ✤ HTTPS on the server for syncing ✤ Mail file quotas and policies ✤ ID Vault

Domino in the Back, Party In The Front
What DoYou Need? ✤ Domino ✤ Verse library files / add in ✤ Configured for HTTPS ✤ Connections Files & Profiles ✤ if you really want to get the most from Verse
Domino InThe Back ✤ Domino remains the best mail server in the world ✤ It supports more mail clients and standards than any other ✤ You don’t have to pick one client ✤ All clients use the same mail db stored on Domino ✤ DAOS, FT indexing, Replication, Clustering, DBMT - everything server based continues and continues to be enhanced
