access user mail file through web browser
Dear experts,
I'm using Lotus Domino 6.5.
I would like all my users can access their mail files (mail databases) through web browser and be able to read, send or recieve their e-mail as usual, but honestly, I got no ideas on how to config that.
I have tried many times, but it failed.
Please help,

URL format to access mail DB
http://DNSname.com/mail_dir/maildbname.nsf
There is a Redirect app on the LDD sandbox that may also be useful

I hope this helps !

Ofcourse, the HTTP has been turned on and also users have been given the internet password.
But I wondered if there are more configuration in Server Documents.
And the URL also typed correctly:
http://dnsname.com/mail/names.nsf; the DNSname refers to the one I registered at ISP.

What version of Domino ?
Please post exact error messages ?
What Browser ?
Are you trying to access this via Internet connection or on your LAN ?
Test with LAN, if it is oK, then your Firewall may be blocking access.
I hope this helps !

Well, my Domino version is 6.5 and I used internet explorer via internet connection.
The error message is "the page can not be displayed"

Well then the Server and or/port is probably being blocked by your firewall at work.
You need to test it on the LAN first.
If it works, contact your neytwork group to check the port blocking

Try it with from your LAN with the local LAN IP address / notes server name first. If dnsname.com is resolving to an external address then coming back into your LAN it is unlikely to work in most router setups.
i.e. http://internalipaddress/mail/theirname.nsf
also try the domino directory which more than likely is
http://internalipaddress/names.nsf
NETSTAT -an on the server should show an entry for 0.0.0.0:80 or similar to show that the server is listening on HTTP. Check in Notes too, show port tcpip. It is possible you have something else loaded on port 80 such as IIS in which case uninstall IIS or at least stop the web service using Internet service Manager

ok, I have tried to test in my LAN, but it didn't work.
Do I have to do something on the server? in domino config document or Windows server?

Honestly, I tried all your responce but it didn't work, may be my network is complicated so that's why I couldn't access the email database via browser. So, you may split and close it.
cheers,

Sorry to hear it didn't work :-(
On the upside, you can still hire a Domino consultant for a few hours to come and take a look :-)

Load HTTP at the console
2) Give everyone an Internet password in their Person Docs.
I would suggest doing this with a few test users first.
I hope this helps !
