K maybe I'm just out of it. I'm an IBM employee so we use Lotus Notes 7. I wanted to try 8 out because it looks so awesome. I downloaded the beta, installed it. I set up all the settings as they were in Notes 7. It looks somewhat different, like menus and such, but when I click Mail, the window is 100% the same as Notes 7! Even Calendar and to-do! I'm assuming this is because we have Domino 7 or something? I don't see how that makes any difference though to how mail is displayed, really confused. Any help is appreciated thanks!
 
The way your mail looks depends on the design it is using. On the server, your mail has not been updated to 8, so it still looks like your 7 seven because it is R7 design.

You would need to make a new local copy and apply R8beta design to see how it looks.

I would be very careful not to replicate any changes back to the server - it is beta and the server is not the same version.

Pascal.


I've got nothing to hide, and I'd very much like to keep that away from prying eyes.
