Installation Guide for Multi-User Sites
WirelessMail version: 4.x
The WirelessMail installer lets users easily install and uninstall the software to their own mailboxes, as well as options for administrators to install to other people's mailboxes. This guide illustrates three options for installing WirelessMail to other users' mailboxes:
A) install to all users via the current mail design template
B) install to selected users via a new alternate mail design template
C) install individually to selected users
Regardless of how you install WirelessMail, the result is basically the same: each user gets the WirelessMail agent and configuration forms in their mail design. When installing to individual mail files, the installer sets the "Prohibit design refresh/replace from modifying" property in all WirelessMail design elements so that WirelessMail is not removed each night when the Design task runs or when you refresh the mailbox from a new mail template. In the template options, the installer UNchecks this property, so that when you can upgrade WirelessMail such changes will flow down to the mailfiles through the Design process.
The latest version of WirelessMail is always available at http://MartinScott.com/WirelessMail.
A) Install to the current template for all users
The easiest way to install WirelessMail for all users is to install to the existing mail template.
Note: When installing WirelessMail to a template, we recommend that any users who already have an individually installed copy first uninstall those individual copies. Otherwise, they will end up with two copies of each WirelessMail agent and form. The uninstall ideally should be performed before the server installation, because after the server installation propagates to those users' mail files, they will see duplicate installations.
To do a template install for all users, click the "Advanced..." button in the WirelessMail installer application and then choose "Install to a mail template."
The installer UNchecks the "Prohibit design refresh/replace from modifying" property in all WirelessMail design elements so that you can upgrade WirelessMail and such changes will flow down to the mailfiles through the Design process. Design updates take effect the next morning at 01:00 by default, or you can refresh all mailboxes immediately.
Also, see "Automatically populating the registration key" below.
B) Install to an alternate template for selected users
If you want WirelessMail installed to selected mailboxes only, you can create a special template for those users.
NOTE: When installing WirelessMail to a template, we recommend that any users who already have an individually installed copy first uninstall those individual copies. Otherwise, they will end up with two copies of each WirelessMail agent and form. The uninstall ideally should be performed before the server installation, because after the server installation propagates to those users' mail files, they will see duplicate installations.
To install to an alternate template, make a copy of your template, and rename the design Template Name. Then install WirelessMail to that copy (see instructions in A above), then set users' mailboxes to inherit from that new template name (instead of the regular mail template).

Automatically populating the registration key (for Template installations only)
In either of the two template install options above, you can optionally enter the Server-wide or OU-wide, or O-wide registration key (if purchased) in a central place so that you do not have to distribute it to each user. After you have installed to the template, open the design of the template with Domino Designer. Open the form "WirelessMail Configuration" that is enabled for use with Notes (a check appears in the Notes column of the form list). Add your 5-digit key, surrounded by " and " in the Default Value property of the regKey field (see attached image). Exit and save this form. This will cause the key value to default for users when they open their WirelessMail Configuration.
C) Install to individual users' mailfiles
You can install directly to users' mailfiles. Use the Advanced... button on the WirelessMail installer. Change the File Name and Server values to that of the user. Also, set the user's forwarding address. Then click the green "Install WirelessMail" button.
