This is the location of your mail file on your local system/server. You can find this in your location document within notes. If you look for the mail tab on your current location document you should see something. For me this is mail3/russbl1.nsf as this is my short name and the one that was setup by the domino admin. I am not sure how to cut/paste pictures so I would just recommend that you search on location document / mail file with google if you need any information on how to get to this page. For me on 8.5 I click on the lower right bottom of the window where it shows my current location. This pops up a list of locations and I select "Edit current...". I then select the mail tab from the document that was opened. Please note if you do not use a local replica I am not sure how to set up this value so your links work correctly.

This is great stuff.

One thing that I've done is to just forward the email to my omnifocus email. I'm not sure if this feature is still in beta, but it's great. Go here for more details.

I'm a new member on this forum, so it won't let me add a URL quite yet.

Do a google search for "OmniFocus Mail Drop Service". It's very handy!

I just tried the Maildrop Service. Is it supposed to attach the mail file? Sure would be helpful if you could double click it, and open it in Notes.

It doesn't attache the mail file so that you can accomplish what you're asking for. It only forwards the content of the email to your omnifocus inbox to be processed there. It does add the body of the email into the new task as an attachment. So you can read the email from right in omnifocus.

If you want to accomplish what you're asking for, you'd have to have the email you want open in full view, save the email, then create a new email to your omnifocus maildrop address and attach the mail file in that email. I'm not sure if this would allow you to double click that mail file from omnifocus and open it in notes or not. You'd have to test it.

Forwarding is a quicker process, and would give you the info you need to respond to an email, but you'd have to open notes and find that email to respond. I'm sure someone with scripting experience could figure out a work around.

I know that you are not supposed to use two systems, but I am a long time Mac user and a long term Lotus Notes user, and I have used OmniFocus for personal stuff and eProductivity for work stuff.

eProductivity modifies the mail template and has a reference database.

Really works well.
