In computing, the program IBM Lotus iNotes offers a fully-featured web-based version of the IBM Lotus Notes client. It provides an interactive interface that duplicates the functionality of Lotus Notes within a web browser. Lotus iNotes comes as a feature in Lotus Domino. The administrator can turn this feature on to allow access of mails via browser.

Functionality

Lotus iNotes allows users of IBM Lotus Domino to access their Domino-based mail, calendar, schedule, to-do list, contacts, and notebook (Notes Journal) from any computer which has a certified web browser and an Internet connection. It uses dynamic HTML and Ajax to provide a rich user experience while minimizing the number of full-page refreshes and transactions interacting with the Domino web server. It also integrates with the IBM Lotus Sametime instant-messaging platform and offers offline support through IBM Lotus Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).

History

  • A client called "Lotus Notes Webmail" provided limited web access to web-enabled Lotus Notes email systems (versions 4 and 5) from the late 1990s.
  • Release 5.0.8 (2001) of Lotus Notes introduced iNotes, which featured a fuller interface than the Webmail client. That year, Network Computing gave a "Well-Connected Award" to iNotes for "Best Web-based Application".[1]
  • Release 6.5 of Lotus Domino (September 2003) renamed iNotes to Domino Web Access.
  • Release 7.0.2 of Lotus Domino (September 2006) introduced support for the Macintosh.
  • Release 8.5 of Lotus Domino (January 2009) renamed Domino Web Access back to iNotes.[2]
