Where did the quickpick feature go in Notes 8.5?

I installed Lotus Notes Release 8.5 (Revision 20081211.1925) over the weekend and I quickly realized that I no longer see the QuickPick feature at the bottom far right corner on the status bar. The 8.5 help database makes one reference but it’s a carry over from pre 8.x reference. I rely on the QuickPick feature , which contains the options; “Create Memo”, “Scan Unread Mail”, “Send outgoing Mail”, “Send & Receive Mai”, etc. for local mailfile replica setup.

Subject: QuickPick did not make it to 8 or 8.5

you can get create memo from the creak menu. tools menu has the replication stuff. not sure about the scan but quickpick is not available

Subject: Bummer but thanks for responding.

And thanks for providing an alternative solution.
