More Lotus Notes UI Disasters

West Chester, PA — Utter devastation. We just got use of Lotus Notes webmail, and I accidentally marked every email address in my inbox as unread. I now am unable to figure out which emails I have read and which I have not.

How did this happen? Take a look at the menu:

I was trying to mark one message as unread — my mouse must have clicked a few pixels too low… and there is no way to undo!

This is a great example of how a minor mistake can have major consequences.

    from that screen shot, you are using a pretty old version of Notes webmail. It’s now called Domino Web Access and the current version is 7.0.2. A demo of it is available at http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/demos/dwa.html .

    Good point about the usability of this menu.
