Lotus Notes won't open a hyperlink/uri in a browser!

I'm still new to Lotus, but I have LN 8.0.2, and have it set up to open hyperlinks "using the browser i have set as the default for this operating system" which in my case is Firefox 3.6.13. If I try to select "use the browser embedded in this client" then it just forgets it after I click save (ie if i go back into preferences it's reset to the default for this operating system option) Windows XP SP 3.

Whenever I click on a link in an email...memo... then it does nothing and flashes an underscore underneath it. It's so basic and so annoying there must be something I'm missing.

Any help please!

How to disable discover page on Lotus Notes 9 start up?

We just upgraded to Lotus/IBM Notes 9 "Social Edition" and there is this Discover tab (which is basically the product just advertising itself) which always opens on start up. Normally Lotus Notes will restore my tabs on startup, and it still does that, but it will always open this Discover page too. I'd rather it doesn't!

How do you create an email footer (signature) in Lotus Notes R5?

For some reason I am unable to add an automated signature to new memos in Lotus Notes R5. My colleagues who have the same version as me have different options on the menu bar, including "add signature" but I do not.

Is it possible that after an upgrade from R4 a while ago I'm running in some kind of compatibility mode?

Any pointers as to where I should look? I've been trying to crack this on and off for weeks :)

Display full/real email address from Lotus Notes?

Similar but different to How to find full/real email address from Lotus Notes?

I want to display the full email address when someone sends me an email. Right now it only shows their display name (eg "John Smith") and cannot figure out how to get John's full email without looking him up in the company directory. Even if I click show details it still only shows his display name. Any way to do this?

Sent mail in Lotus Notes

I just started using Lotus Notes (normally I use Outlook) and I'm confused and bothered about something: the "sent" folder is some sort of 'view', and not an actual folder (unlike Outlook). I like to file away my sent messages into the same folders as my received messages so that I have them all together in one area. I can 'move' sent messages to folders, but they stay in the 'sent' view, which is infuriating because now I have no idea if I've filed them all away or not.

What can I do to make a sent email appear in a given folder but NOT in the sent view?

Synchronizing Lotus Notes Calendar with Google Calendar

I am working at a client where Lotus Notes is used. How do I synchronize the Notes calendar (Lotus Notes 7) with Google Calendar or directly with my iPhone 3GS?

I don't need to synchronize the emails, the calendar entries and tasks are sufficient.

I searched for solutions but couldn't find any proper ones. Preferably, the synchronization would be automatic on a regular basis but it's also OK if I have to trigger it manually. Please do not suggest solutions involving Outlook since I cannot install that here.
