Lotus Notes Traveler: Push email for Lotus Notes



IBM Lotus Notes Traveler software is a push email solution providing quick access to email (including attachments), calendar, address book, journal and to-do list for Lotus Notes mobile users. There is currently support for Windows Mobile 5 and 6, Nokia S60, and Apple iPhone/iPod devices. Other unsupported devices (Palm Pre, Android, etc) may be possible to configure and will be on a case-by-case basis. Please do not purchase one of the unsupported devices, however, on the assumption that Traveler can be made to work with it. Click the tab below for installation instructions for your device.
