When you are not connected to a network, you can go offline
and perform most of the same mail tasks that you can when you are
online. While you are offline, you work with a local copy of your
mail file.
Before you begin
Before you go offline the first time, you must complete the
task Installing a
subscription of your mail file. Installing a subscription installs
both the subscription management software and a local copy of your
mail file.About this task
When you open an offline subscription from the IBM® Domino® Sync Manager on a Windows
client that is disconnected from the network, you may get a message
from the browser that no connection to the Internet is currently available.
The message includes the options Work Offline or Try
Again. Click Try Again to access
your offline mail file.Procedure
- Click the arrow next to your name in the IBM iNotes® banner.
- Click . After authentication is complete
you can work in your local mail file.
Note: If your Notes
ID password is different than your Internet password and you use the IBM Domino Sync Manager, you
may be prompted for your user name and password. If so, provide your
Notes ID password.
- When you have finished working offline, click to return to working online.
Results
You can work offline, you can create messages, calendar entries,
and do most of the same things you can do when you are online. When
you send an email, your message displays in the Sent view even if
you have not yet connected to your mail server to send and receive
new mail. However, you cannot change spelling dictionaries when you
are working offline.If your Notes ID password is different than
your Internet password and you use the IBM Domino Sync Manager, you
can set a Synchronization Password so that you are not prompted for
a user name and password to access your offline mail. To avoid this
problem, open the IBM Domino Sync
Manager, select the mail file subscription, and then click Properties.
Click the Security tab and enter your Notes
ID password.
What to do next
Complete the task Synchronizing your mail after
working offline. Then, refresh your browser when you go back
online to see newly added, changed, or deleted folders.
