ASP.NET Check new mail on Lotus Notes/Domino server

Question

Is there a way to check new mail on a Lotus Notes/Domino server in ASP.NET 3.5+, for multiple users. Users are logged in with there Windows Domain account into the ASPx application.

Answer 1

Given, that the Domino servers are also on Windows and they have SPNEGO activated for SSO, you have several options, depending on what you mean by "check new mail".

If you want to include the Inbox in your ASP.Net app eg. as an iframe, you can use iNotes portal mode to accomplish that.

If you are on Domino 8.5.3, you can use the REST services of the new extension library to access the Inbox contents via a few REST calls and Json. See the link for more infos.

If you want to access the "new mail" in the backend of your ASP.Net app, you are problably out of luck, as the information about "new/unread" mail is stored per user and you would need the ID-File/password or http password of the user to access that information.

But maybe you could provide more info, so we can give better advice.
