Is there a way in Lotus Notes (using either #Formula or LotusScript) to get the mail file path of the current user?
Dim maildb As New NotesDatabase("", "")
Call maildb.OpenMail
gives you the mail database of current user.
maildb.FilePath returns the file path.
#MailDbName is the formula counterpart to the answer from Knut. It returns a text list with two elements: Server and path.

I wonder if it is possible to generate a list of email users and their owners to a text file? I'm a beginner in Lotus script ... can there be any database in domino administrator where can i find such data? Screen
you can use the NotesDBDirectory class to loop through all dbs on server. If the database resides in subfolder mail, you can get the database using the notes database class. Normally the title of the database is the owners Name. But you can also get the calendar Profile document and read the field owner.
Another approach: take a look in names.nsf. you can Export data as CSV-file ...
Greetz, Markus
Code example:
Dim sess as new Notessession
Dim dbdir as NotesDBDirectory
Dim db as NotesDatabase
Dim Profile As NotesDocument
Set dbdir = New NotesDBDirectory("Servername")
Set db = dbdir.GetFirstDatabase(1247)
Do until db is nothing
'expecting the mail files are located in subfolder mail, check the path
If Ucase(Left(db.FilePath , 5)) = "MAIL\" Then
If not db.IsOpen Then
Call db.Open("","")
End If
Set Profile = db.GetProfileDocument("CalendarProfile")
Print Profile.Owner(0) ' prints out the owner name to Client Status bar or Server console
End If
Set db = dbdir.GetNextDatabase
Loop
The line
Print Profile.Owner(0) ' prints out the owner name to Client
must be modified to match your needs. You can use the Lotus script write Statement.

HTH, Markus
I'd iterate through the user documents in the server's names.nsf. Look at each user to see if they have an email database listed and, if so, output them to a text file.
I am trying to send email from Lotus Script. But the email doesn't seem to have the FORM ( named Email Form , referred below in the code ) attached to it, when received in the inbox.
When I check the Document property in the email, it says the form is "Memo" and the FROM, TO addresses are Blank.
I have defined the FROM, TO,SUBJECT,BODY fields in the Email Form in a specific format .
But all these field values are populated correctly in the form. Issue happens only after send .
The Same code works fine in some other Lotus Notes, when the email is triggered by another person, having a different Notes ID configured in that system .
Not sure if this is code issue, or Lotus Notes configuration issue .
Any help to solve this would be greatly appreciated . The for has the property " Store Form in Doc" set and even ComputeWithForm returns success .
Could this be a problem with my Lotus notes settings/configuration? .Same code sends email in correct format in some other system configured wit their Notes ID
Here is a sample code on the EMAIL Action button
Sub Click(Source As Button)
Set email = db.CreateDocument
Call email.ReplaceItemValue("Form", "Email Form")
Call email.ReplaceItemValue("Subject", " My TestEmail")
Call email.ReplaceItemValue("From", nom.Canonical)
Call email.ReplaceItemValue("SendTo", nom.Canonical)
Call email.ReplaceItemValue("Body", " Hello, my test email ")
Call email.Send(True,nom.Common)
End Sub
It seems you mixed syntax here, you both set SendTo and specify nom.common, only one should be done. As in the help you should use:
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set doc = New NotesDocument( db )
doc.Form = "Email Form"
doc.SendTo = "Elissa Minty"
doc.Subject = "Here's the document you wanted"
Call doc.Send( true ) 'true here means you the form is stored and sent along with the document.
Now, check that you "Allow use of stored forms in this database." in your DB, could it be that this code exists in differents DBs and one doesn't have "Email Form" ? BTW check is it really "Email Form" and not "Email" ?
You may need also to check the local configuration on the client. To do this refer to Help.
Its not that complicated to send mails usually, with docs from a Mail Enabled database. But now you have added a more complicated solution, than necessary, you may want to review your solution, to save yourself of future problems.
You won't even need to LotusScript this, provided the Mail fields (SendTo as minimum) is there on the document.
See here how:
Designer 8.5.3 Help - Setting up automatic mailing
I would like to also change the field "sent by" (displaying when there is a mailDoc.Principal) in the mail being sent by a triggered agent created in lotus script. Is it possible to change it I already tried the following codes
mailDoc.SentBy = strFrom
mailDoc.tmpDisplaySentBy = strFrom
mailDoc.FROM = strFrom
mailDoc.SendFrom = strFrom
Still I couldn't change that part.. Is it possible or is there some limitation?.. Thanks
You can't change it. The server puts always the current username into field Principal/From.
But there is a workaround: instead of sending the mail save the mail document into mail.box on server with a Principal/From field content of your choice. This way server won't change the field anymore.
Here is an example from Karl-Henry Martinsson how to do it.
I have created a CPP COM dll to read a EML File and add it to Lotus notes NSF file. Using MIMEContent to create the mails but the problem is when i am adding the document to folder view $Inbox same mail is copied $Sent Item Folder. Below is the code
newdoc.Save();
Folder.FolderAddDocument(newdoc);
// Color the background
Folder.SetBackgroundColor(LNCOLOR_LIGHT_GRAY);
// Change the heading display
Folder.SetHeadingDisplay(LNVFHEADINGDISPLAY_BEVELED);
Folder.Save();
//cout<<"ReadViews4"<<endl;
Folder.Close();
//cout<<"ReadViews5"<<endl;
newdoc.Close();
Thanks and Regards,
Haseena
This is the selection formula for the Sent view of the 8.5.x mail template:
SELECT DeliveredDate = "" & PostedDate != "" & !(#IsMember("S";
ExcludeFromView))
If the imported mail document should appear as a incoming mail, it must have a DeliveredDate field with a date (which then means that it will not appear in the Sent view).
I can not see how you set the properties of the mail document, since your code example only contains newdoc.Save() and newdoc.Close().
So have a look at the properties of your imported mail, and have a look at the CPP code that sets the properties of the mail document.
Like others said:
Create the field "DilveredDate". Replace its value with e.g. Today.
DateTime timenow = session.createDateTime("Today");
timenow.setNow();
newdoc.replaceItemValue("DeliveredDate", timeNow);
And your document will not show up in the sendTo-View.
Is it possible to automate lotus notes to post a local file to a database? I have a daily task to post a logfile to a notes database. I can gather the logfile via script but don't know enough about notes scripting to figure this out.
I know thrre is a com interface as long as I have the client on the PC, but I can't figure out how to get a file uploaded to a dataase. I can use either vbscript or (preferred) powershell
If you search around the net you'll find examples of using VBScript to manipulate Lotus Notes. Here's one example: http://haveworld.blogspot.com/2006/10/vbscript-and-lotus-notes.html
You'll need to know a little about Lotus Notes to make this work, though. Start small and see if you can even get the Notes Version to appear:
Set oNotesSession = CreateObject("Notes.Notessession") 'create notes session
Msgbox oNotesSession.NotesVersion
If that works, you know you're in good shape. If not, make sure you've installed Lotus Notes correctly and configured it on the client.
The code to post a local file to a database involves connecting to Notes, creating a new Notes Document, adding a file object into the body of the document, and then saving it. You can use any kind of Notes Database to do this, but I'd suggest creating a new one based on the Document Library template, and using that to store your files.
Here is some code that will create a new Notes document, set the subject field, attach a file, and then save the document. This assumes there's a local Notes database already available called "FileStorage.nsf"
strFileName = "C:\Windows\Media\tada.wav"
strSubject = "Your Subject Goes Here"
Set oNotesSession = CreateObject("Notes.Notessession") 'create notes session
Set oDb = oNotesSession.GetDatabase("", "FileStorage.nsf") 'open database on local named FileStorage.nsf
Set oDoc = oDb.CreateDocument
' Filling the fields
oDoc.Subject = strSubject
Set oBody = oDoc.CreateRichTextItem("Body")
oBody.EmbedObject 1454, "", strFileName '1454 = Embedded Attachment type
oDoc.Save False, False
