MAIL
You can address a message either by selecting recipient names from your contact list or a directory, or by typing names or addresses directly into a message. If you type names directly, NotesR uses a type-ahead feature that completes names based on the first few letters you type.
To type a name or address manually
To see whether Notes recognizes a name you type in an address field, click View > Refresh. Notes searches all appropriate directories for each name in the field, supplying addresses for the names it recognizes. For unknown names, Notes may open a list of similar names you can select from.
You can enter just a recipient's name as an address if your contact list or the DominoR directory on your home server contains address information for the recipient. If the recipient's name is not in the Domino directory or your contact list, you must type the full address of the recipient. For example, if the recipient uses Notes mail and your organization uses domains, the full address Jane Q Public@Marketing tells Notes to route the message to Jane Q Public in the domain named Marketing. If you know the recipient does not use Notes mail, enter her Internet e-mail address, for example, jqpublic@acme.marketing.com.
Tip: You can save addresses of people and groups in your contact list so that you can type the recipient's name instead of the full address.
To customize or disable the type-ahead feature
Notes looks up names in your contact list first, then in a Domino directory on your home server. You can customize type-ahead to look in your contact list only, or you can disable type-ahead.
