For users who are familiar with earlier versions of Notes, these options were available by displaying Contacts and clicking Advanced -> Accounts.

Administrative accounts appear with a lock icon in their row, indicating a server-managed account that is not editable by the user. Administrative accounts are documented in the Domino Administrator product documentation.

The following parameters can be changed using Notes preferences options:

Account name

This specifies the new or existing account name. Sample account names include Instant Messaging, Activities, and Document Management.

Note: You cannot change the name of accounts that an administrator created with user policy.

This specifies a short description of the account, such as My Personal Mail.

This specifies the account type, which includes HTTP, HTTPS, LDAP, POP3, SMTP, NNTP, IMAP Offline, and IMAP Online.

This specifies the server URL, or Web address, on which the account exists. This value can include a port number.

Options on the Advanced Properties preference panel include the following fields:
• Search timeout
• Maximum entries to return
• Search base
• Check names when sending mail
• Use simple search filter
• Port number (Each account type has a default port value (given in the table below for the various account types) if one is not otherwise explicitly stated).

These options enable you to specify the location(s) from which to access the account. Because you can connect to Notes in several different ways, such as over a LAN or over a cable or DSL connection, Notes manages information for each type of connection. Options in this section of the New Account and Edit Account preference panels include the following fields:
• * -- Specifies that the account be available from all available locations.
• Home (Network Dialup) -- This specifies that the account be available from home using a network dialup service.
• Home (Notes Direct Dialup) -- This specifies that the account be available from home using a Notes direct dialup service.
• Internet -- Specifies that the account be available using an Internet service.
• Island (Disconnected) -- This specifies that the account can be used offline.
• Office (Network) -- This specifies that the account be available from the workplace using an Ethernet or a wireless connection.
• Travel (Notes Direct Dialup) -- This specifies that the account be available from anywhere using a Notes direct dialup service.

The following advanced properties are available for HTTP accounts.

Note: When using HTTP, the Server field URL starts with HTTPS to specify SSL (Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol for transmitting private documents over the Internet) enablement. The default port value for HTTP is 80 and for HTTPS is 43. Use https:// in the Server field for SSL.
