Turning off Sametime Pop-ups

2010-06-18

I use Lotus Sametime a lot at work, but it has an irritating feature that by default brings all conversations to the front whenever something new is added to them. Nevertheless, this can be turned off. You just need to know how to navigate the labyrinthine preferences menu:

This screenshot is from Sametime 8.5.1 on Linux, but other platforms are probably similar.

I heart you for taking the time to post a pic. Just switched over to the new LN (yes, company is years behind), and this was killing me.

It's a crushing day on the network, but just wanted to take a sec and thank you for the graphic. My manager's sametime 8.5.1 got set to the popup by default and it was driving him nuts when the S hits the F and everyone in Verizon starts pinging him.

Thank you, I was so close but your picture really sealed the deal. This page is still helpful!

We use Sametiem Entry 8.5.1 and with the standard policy settings it is not possible to turn it off. Is there an other way to turn it off? Can it be done via a notes.ini setting?
