Install the Lotus Notes Connector into the Test Mail Database

It is always recommended to install the Lotus Notes Connector to a mail database from a standard mail template, however, you can opt to run it against your mail file or a copy of your mailfile,

  1.  Open 'ConnectorInstaller.nsf'.  Click 'Next' on the opening page.
  2.  Click on "I Agree" to the License Agreement and click OK.
  3.  Select your CRM on the dialog box and click OK.
  4.  In the Configuration window, select the box "Install Mail Database Integration".

  6.  Click the "Select Mail database" button to select the Mail File file you want to update for example CRMMailTest.nsf.
  7.  Checkbox "Install Scheduled Sync Agents" is selected by default. This automatically runs the sync agents as part of the install.  If you would rather run this manually, deselect the box.
  8.  Optional: Click the option to Install Personal Address Book Integration if desired. This feature will allow you to access your PAB through the LNC interface, as well as access your CRM contacts from your PAB.
