Since the 8.0.2 client has come out I have had a number of my users upgrade to it and when starting the notes client it has just hung.
We have tried different things and here is how we get around it
Start Notes Client
When prompted for password we have them go to offline/island
Once inside of notes we have them go back to online/Office
If there some type of bug in the latest Notes client with bookmark.nsf?
Subject: Re: Notes Client Hanging
One possibility:
There is a known issue (SPR MPGY7J6SJQ) that discusses problems with the client hanging after the install when “UseBasicNotes=1” is set in a multi-user environment.
For whatever reason, after the install completes, it leaves a Notes task running in memory–which prevents the client from launching again.
You can use Windows to “end task” the offending task or have the user log off & back on to kill it if this is the problem.

We have the same problem on our 8.0.2 clients.It seems to be a hotfix out there for this; https://www.bleedyellow.com/blogs/uhclem/entry/notes_8_0_2_hotfix_cch1_released1
It seems that it hangs on loading the workspace and we solved it with starting nlnotes.exe or run nsd -kill from command prompt.
