Only Lotus Notes and Domino version 8.51 above supports native push mail on Iphone. Not only that, the Domino 8.51 servers must be configured to use optional Domino Traveler software module. For those who are using older version of Domino, you are out of luck and must rely on non-free third party solutions.
This step-by step instruction will show how to “push mail” from Lotus to your Iphone via Google’s Gmail. It’s not a native solution from your Lotus Domino but it works but with few catches. In this setup all responses to emails received via Lotus Domino will look like they are being sent from Lotus Email. You don’t want to expose your personal Gmail address, don’t you?



PART A: Forwarding email from Lotus email to Gmail
Register Gmail here if you don’t have an account.
Login to your Lotus Inotes via web browser.

Look at the left panel of you Lotus Web Mail and go to Tool > Rules

Click New Rule

Under “Rule Name” u can put whatever name for the rule. As u can see I put “redirect mail” there

Check “Condition” radio button

Choose “AND” for the first dropdown menu
Choose “All Documents” for the second dropdown menu and then press “Add’ button
Now you need to specify action for this rule. Under “Create actions”, choose “send copy to” and put your gmail address on the second column
Choose “full” on the last dropdown menu and press “Add” and lastly press “OK” button.
Now, every copy of your email receives via Lotus Email will be forwarded to your Gmail




PART B: Setting your iphone to receive push mail from Gmail.
Go to Settings on your Iphone`s Springboard and press Mail, Contacts, Calendar

Add your gmail account via Microsoft Exchange option. Do not choose Gmail or you wouldn’t receive any push mail!

Fill up all necessary information

Put your Gmail address on Email Column
Do not fill up anything on the Domain column
Put your Gmail username on the Username column with or without @gmail.com
Put your Gmail password on the Password column
Press Next
The iphone mail client will try to verify these Exchange information with google.

Press Accept even if the Iphone fails to verify certificate

Put “m.google.com” for the Server colum and then press Next.

Choose info you want to synchronize with Google and then press “Done”. I only use Mail to sync with Gmail.

At this stage you should be able to receive push email to your iphone when somebody sends an email to your Lotus Email. Try sending an email to your Lotus Email to make sure all steps were done correctly.



PART C: Setting up Gmail so that all mail replied look like they are being sent from Lotus Notes
Login to your Gmail
Go to Settings > Accounts and Imports
Click “Send mail from another address” button
Check “Reply from the same address the message was sent to”.

Enter information about your other email address. Eg myotheremail@yahoo.com

Check “send through Gmail” radio button

Send Verification Code to your other email address.

Read your other email address to get verification Sent by Google

Copy the Verification Code, paste to the column shown below and click “Verify”

Try sending an email to your Lotus Email address.
All mail replied will look like they are being sent from Lotus Notes ONLY if you reply via Gmail web application. If you reply via Iphone`s default email client, the reply address will be from your Gmail.
When u delete any email from your Iphone`s email client, a copy of the email will still stay on your Lotus email server hence the need of dual maintenance of email. Like I told you earlier, it’s not a perfect solution but at least you are always connected via push email and can response whenever needed.
