New Lotus Notes 8.5 beta



Aah! While I still dont enjoy using Notes, I dont mind it as much. The new interface is pretty enough and far more usable than the previous one.

What version of the beta are you using? I'm on 8.5 Beta 1 but my mail interface still looks like the old Notes 7.

If your mail file looks like version 7 while using version 8 you need to replace the design of your mail file with the 8.5 template. Make sure Advanced Menus are turned on in the View Pull down menu first. Open your inbox, then go to File > Application > Replace Design > Select Mail 8.5 from the list and also click the Upgrade Folder design check box at the bottom. Click Replace.

Your mail file will be upgraded, the progress icon at the bottom of Notes will start to move left to righ - click on this to display the full progress of the design replace - when it finishes close your mail file and any open tabs for that matter then open the mail file once more - it should now have the 8 Look and Feel!
