asked on

Accessing Mail files via webpage

I want a link on our web page that takes people directly to their own respective mail account/database.

I have already made it so they have to logon before they get to the web page, what I don't know how to do, is the part that sees who they are and sends them to their email account

ie. /mail/jbloggs.nsf

TIA

After the user logs on you need some way of calculating which mail file belongs to them.  You could have a lookup view that would list each persons log-on name and their corresponding mail file.  Using Lotusscript you could check this view when they click the OPEN MAIL button (or whatever you want to call it).  Or, if the mail files always used a consistent naming format you could calculate the filename based on that but it could be more tricky.  Once you have calculated which mail file is theirs you can call a Lotusscript agent that uses a print statement to open the desired URL.

For example:

 Print "[http:www.yourCompany.com/yourDirectory/JoeBlow.nsf]"
