I am running Domino 6.5.1 and would like to setup webmail. It wasn’t configured on this server before and I thought recalled reading that the webservices had to be setup during install.
Is this correct? or can I install the services to run Lotus Webmail on an already configured server?
TIA for any input.
Subject: Setting up Webmail
If by Webmail you mean simply accessing your mail file via a Browser, then try loading the HTTP task on the Server by entering
Load HTTP
at the server console. As far as I know all server tasks are installed, just not loaded at startup. Now point your browser at the filename of your mailfile on the server and you should be prompted with a username and password prompt.
If it doesn’t work then there are lots of things that could be wrong such as another web server task running on the server, internet password not set in the Person doc, etc.
If it does work, you’ll need to add HTTP to the ServerTasks Notes.INI statement to load the task each time the server starts up.

So first thing is HTTP task… add it to the tasks in your notes.ini on your domino server. You can access the mail file by typing http://servername/mail/mailfilename.nsf but the GUI is a little poor…so…create a database called DWA Redirect or whatever using the iwaredir.ntf template and configure the database. You will also need to change the users mail file template to the Domino Web Access one (iNotes6.ntf) if you want, the GUI just looks better when you access it via a web browser.
You may need to register a domain name and configure DNS entries if you wish to access your mail from outside of your network.
Do a search on “Domino Web Access” in the help file or at http://www.lotus.com/support you’ll see it’s pretty simple to set up.
