Problem with Lotus Notes internet mail
 

Wife's computer is set up with Lotus Notes 6 client for her email
client. It's a standalone client with no Domino server. I installed it
a few months ago when she was having too much trouble using Microsoft
Office and Outlook.

She has an outgoing note with a 60KB attachment stuck in her outgoing
replication folder, and every time she does a replicate to send it, it
fails almost immediately with an error, "A network operation failed to
complete in a reasonable amount of time, smtp.charter.net" (or something
very close to that.) Other messages stack up behind it in the outgoing
mail folder. If I delete that message, the others will send. Then I go
to her Sent folder and try sending a new copy and it gets stuck too with
the same error.

I can't find anything about this in the help files, and I don't see any
timeout settings in the server configurations. Any ideas? Thanks.

Best regards,
Bob

Lotus Notes has to be one of the worst email clients ever. Very clumsy and
prone to stupid errors like this all the time. Slow and.... it's just yuck.
Have to use it at work. So limited. Only good thing I can think of is that
it's more secure then the more popular clients, but at a price.

Thanks. That was very helpful.

I did manage to find the problem. It's a Lotus Notes bug since Release
5, and it only fails on W95, W98, and ME. Since it's not a problem for
Win2K or XP, it hasn't been a very high priority for IBM to fix it. The
circumvention is to set the smtp timeout multiplier value in the
notes.ini file. I set it to 10:
