Starting with R5.0.5, administrators of Domino Webmail have a choice of two templates when deploying Webmail -- the default Mail (R5.0) template (MAIL50.NTF), and a new Extended Mail (R5.0) template (MAIL50EX.NTF). The Extended Mail (R5.0) template is a superset of the default Mail (R5.0) template. Beyond the functionality included in the default Mail (R5.0) template, the Extended Mail (R5.0) template also includes an offline mail feature for users of Domino Webmail1, as well as numerous features for users of iNotes Access for Microsoft Outlook2.
Administrators of Domino Webmail who wish to extend offline mail capabilities to their Webmail users should use the new Extended Mail (R5.0) template (MAIL50EX.NTF) included in R5.0.5. Administrators of Domino Webmail who do not wish to offline mail capabilities to their Webmail users should use the default Mail (R5.0) template (MAIL50.NTF).
