Part 2: Installation • This needs to be done by someone with the IBM Domino Designer application. • For test purposes, apply it on a single mail database file. • Once tested, you should probably do it on your mail file master template for easy distribution. • Tip: You might like to install into a DominoTeamMailbox template for enhanced generic ‘mail-in’ group mailbox functions.

Paste Agents in Mail File • Open your Mail file or template (7.x or 8.x compatible). • On the Left Hand Navigator, expand Code • Paste the agents onto the Agent node.
