Notes on mac does not start

I’ve a problem after the prompt of the Notes password. I can see the message “Notes is starting” but after a few seconds the message finish and Notes does not start!

I’ve experience with the Windows client, but this is my first installation of the 8.52 release on a MAC.

The version is not the basic one.

Thanks in advance!

Subject: Solution

It is really amazing IBM never fix this.

  1. Close Notes

  2. Remove or rename the Lotus Notes Data Expeditor folder

  3. Start Notes and smile

Good Luck

Subject: no results!

I’ve tried to delete the notes data expeditor folder, but without good results!

Is right that the lotus nots data folder is in “user library application support”?

Thanks for your help.
