Am I missing something or is it not possible to look up the public address book from the Traveler client?
Subject: Same here
I was going to post this same question today. I can not figure out how to do this neither. I was thinking the “Check Names” menu option may do it, but it is always disabled. This option is available in the other email accts on the phone, but it just looks it up in the local contacts.
There is a posting about syncing additional directories, but no recent update: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd85forum.nsf/5f27803bba85d8e285256bf10054620d/d3da0c3f0c52a9c085257574003169e9?OpenDocument
It is important for us, not just in email addressing, but also for phone numbers. How am I supposed to call a coworker’s cell phone, unless I had previously copied their person doc to my pernames?
Thanks,
Nick
Subject: you are correct
Current versions of traveler do not do lookups into the domain address book. I don’t have the reference handy, but Lotus has promised this feature for a future release. The only workaround I know of is copying people from the NAB into your personal address book.
Subject: Coporate lookup for Traveler
Unfortunately we do not currently support global or corporate lookup. Part of the problem is that the native applications for E-mail on Windows Mobile and Nokia do not provide lookup functionality. This makes it a technical issue of how to surface the lookup on the device so that it is easy to use.
That said in Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1 due out in 2nd half of 2009 we will support the I-phone. The native e-mail app on I-phone does support lookup functionality, so we expect to have some basic corporate lookup cabability in the I-phone.
And yes - the work around is to copy commonly used contacts to the local address book and sync those to the device.
We appologize for the inconvenience and will continue to keep this as a high priority as many customers have requested it.
Subject: Traveler, corporate address lookup
Commontime’s mNotes can do it.
If the workaround is to copy addresses into local addressbook, that means lookup from email is supported on those devices, just not from multiple addressbooks. Windows Mobile supports Categories in Contacts; is it really so hard to use a special category for Corporate addressbook entries? What’s more, they typically wouldn’t have to sync both ways…
Subject: Contacts iNotes 8.5 Ultralite
While not the long term goal, an interim use of the iNotes 8.5 Ultralite interface on my Blackberry works well. (I use it to check client site email) The required use of the local contacts has been an issue for many platforms. On the bright side, use the contacts from iNotesUltralite and click the number to dial.
