LOCATIONS AND ACCOUNTS

Creating or editing a Location document manually
Locations are a feature that connects you to applications on servers by providing a place to specify such information as the name of your mail server, whether you use a passthru server, or even which Notes ID to use.

Tip The easiest way to set up any type of location is to click Tools > Client Reconfiguration Wizard from the main menu, and answer the questions IBM® Lotus® Notes® asks, letting Notes automatically create or edit the Location document. The wizard also creates any necessary server Connection or Account documents for the type of connection method you are configuring.

During installation, Notes automatically creates four Location documents: Home, Offline, Online, and Travel. During configuration, Notes populates these Location documents, as well as any necessary Connection or Account documents, based on information you supply.

If you must create or edit a location manutally, click File > Locations > Manage Locations.
