Notes Client / Mail: Inbox Maintenance improvment request

Idea:

Some admins I met would like to be able to configure the inbox maintenance task to put all removed mails from the inbox into a specific folder.

For many reasons, they do not want to allow users to manually go to the All documents view, nor develop and agent, nor allow users to create rules for that purpose.

Some end users are well educated and correctly manager their inbox documents, but many others are not.

So it could be a great idea to tell adminp to put all documents from inbox into a specific folder (like the junkmail) for the inbox maintenance. Now allowing admins to define their very own folder can be a plus.

One advantage I do see in this capability is to indicate to delegates where to go to manage a small bunch of documents on a regular basis, instead of telling them to go to All documents (long to open, too much info, etc...)

Comment: Hi Jerome. Notes supports a special anti-folder view which will display all documents not contained in any folder.

Comment: Yes but that means you do have to modify the template....

Comment: @2 Although I can see some benefit to moving to another folder automatically, can you define further why you feel admins want to disallow users from entering the All Docs view -- besides the view index creation and initial performance hit?

The All Docs view is a competitive advantage over Outlook, et al, as it allows people to find easily, missorted or misdirected mail, determine its current location, and properly place it. This keeps users productive and new Notes converts happy.

Comment: J�r�me - just reading your idea, I was inclined to demote it. I have no issues with modifying the mail template, creating an agent to perform this task, or telling people to use the All Docs view. However, after reading the comments, I now have "no opinion."

As I am feeling a bit cynical, I don't think that IBM Lotus will incorporate your functionality in the standard mail template. You, by not wanting to modify the template (or create one specifically for your organization/customers with the modification in it) puts you in a tough position.

"No opinion" from me. :-)

Comment: I have added an Unfoldered view to our template for this purpose. It shoudl be in the template by default IMO

Domino Designer / : Lotus-Notes Designer Best Practice Guide updated for R8/R8.5.x

Idea:

Please reimpress/recreate/redo a "Lotus-Notes Designer Best Practice guide" as it was done in 4/5/6. It is really boring to keep repeating always the same stuff and hear the developper says "it is for R6 not R8 in the title"......

Comment: I wonder if the era of the best practice guide has passed and that we should now be looking at Wikis as the way to communicate this sort of material. I instead would like to see a concerted effort to add structure and depth to the product wikis that include much more detailed coverage of best practices.

Comment: I believe that Peter is right. It seems to me that Lotus documentation is being pushed to wikis. Here is a link to the Designer wiki, although there is not a section on "Best Practices."

Comment: An issue with wiki's is their applicability is frozen in time. Where a solution or work around is applicable in version 8 or 8.5.1, is that solution or work around still applicable in 8.5.3?

I agree with Jerome in that the documentation is an aggregation across versions instead of version specific. When I read about an 8.5.1 issue or problem I have no idea if that is still a problem in the 8.5.3 version.
