Lotus Notes 7.0.2 beta 2 for OS X
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...Here at Nominet we get to apply the power of Lotus Notes to all our communication needs. So it was with great excitement that I discovered the beta release of Lotus Notes 7.0.2 for OS X.
Before starting dont forget to backup your ID files and and local address book or databases. I removed the 6.5.5 install from my mac before starting. and then just ran the Notes installer. This is much improved from previous installs and I had no problems with it.
Running it for the first time gave no surprises. Just the normal configuration steps.
Opening emails gives a Javascript error!. This is not good and appears to be happening on all messages. However disabling Javascript error messages in the User Preferences stopped it.
The default font is much better and things feel a bit quicker and smoother, but not a lot.
A worthwhile upgrade I think.
Update: The mouse scroll wheel now works!!
Update2: You can tell notes to save the state of the window at exit. so all the databases you normally open at start up will be there! Also you can now right click on the senders name in a memo and select “create memo to”.

Yes, it is nicer than the previous one. It feels more like a proper Mac OS X app and the whole feel is improved. But then previous versions have seemed like the most basic of ports.

I’ve noticed that it also changes the icon in the dock when you have new mail. I don’t think 6.5 did that.

I must say I was skeptical, but this really does feel like a crisper application - the font changes alone make this worthwhile
