•
Don’t keep a copy

Receiving Mail - By default Domino Web Access looks for new mail on the server every 5 minutes. You
can change this number.
To be notified when new mail arrives, check "Prompt when new mail arrives."
Soft Delete - When you delete mail messages, Domino Web Access places them in the Trash folder. This is
called a soft delete. By default, messages stay in the Trash folder for 48 hours or until you explicitly delete
them from trash. This deletion gives you a chance to retrieve messages if you make a mistake. You can
change how long messages remain in the Trash folder, under "Soft Delete" before they expire.
Under Soft Delete, enter the number hours that messages remain in the Trash folder before they are
removed permanently from your mail file.

flag a message for follow up, Domino Web Access uses these defaults. However, for any message you can
change any of these settings without affecting the follow up defaults you set in preferences. When you flag
a message using Quick Follow Up, these defaults apply automatically.
Indicate the importance of the follow up action by selecting one of the following priority levels.
•
