Lotus Notes Mail Event that Must to Know

The difference between “after new mail has arrived” and “after documents are created or modified” in Lotus Notes

The difference is that Lotus Notes mail-based triggers know what constitutes mail and do not select items such as drafts and sent mail. These triggers pick up newly modified, previously delivered mail because in some situations it is necessary (for example, when mail is replicated to your mail database rather than delivered via the router). If this is not what you want, you can create an agent that marks a document with a flag when you process it the first time, then ignores it on the next round. (This is necessary only if you anticipate modifying newly delivered mail, “before delivery agents” only work for mail delivered via the router.)

Sometime “after new mail has arrived” and “after documents are created or modified” Lotus Notes agents process more documents than they should?
An agent of this type reprocesses documents if:

  • The agent itself has been changed and re-saved. (It’s possible that the logic of the agent completely changed.)
  • Documents the agent is processing have been changed.
