changing Notes locations. With a universal inbox and support for native Web formats, Internet
mail content has full fidelity.
Its features include:
• POP3 and IMAP4 support
• Native MIME support
• S/MIME support: For years, Notes has delivered a superior Public Key Infrastructure
(PKI) very much like that provided by S/MIME security. S/MIME extends Notes native
security to include secure messaging to non-Notes mail recipients.
• Fully-integrated X.509 Certificates: X.509 is the open-standard certificate format for
inter-application authentication. Notes users can now take advantage of either the
traditional Notes certificates or X.509 v3 certificates.
• LDAP support
• Native address support: Means that Notes R5 users can address mail using either the
Internet address format or the Notes hierarchical address format. It also means that
both the Internet and Notes hierarchical address of senders and recipients is included
in an R5 mail message.
Easiest Internet Client to Use
The goal for Notes R5 was to create an environment that increases productivity by providing
one consistent environment for access to all of the sources of information you need to do your
job. Unlike some competing products, Notes R5 is not a bundle of products; it stands alone.
The tightest-integrated Internet client in the industry benefits you with the combination of the
best features in one seamless, easy-to-use mail, calendar, and Web client.
New productivity features in R5:
• The Welcome page: Notes R5 introduces the concept of a Welcome page—the first
page you see when you start the client. The default welcome page for the client is a
basic page with a simple, easy-to-learn user interface. Users can access mail, a
calendar, and their personal contacts. You can change the Welcome page to one of the
styles provided by the client or customize your own Welcome page.
• The Headlines page: This provides a user-customizing environment to navigate, filter,
access and act on information, regardless of where that information originates: your
inbox, a Web site, or a news group.
• Subscriptions: The ability to monitor Domino databases for documents that match
your specific criteria is an major innovation in R5.
• The navigation bar: This contains tools very similar to the “forward” and “back”
buttons browser users would recognize. In addition, there is a stop and refresh button
