UNL Information Services updates Traveler to fix Android folder issue
2011.03.09 — 07:30 CSTAs previously reported, Android phones using IBM Lotus Notes Traveler were having problems working with folder names containing an ampersand.
IBM recently provided Information Services with a test fix for this problem. The Lotus Notes Team upgraded the Traveler server on Wednesday, March 9, 2011, at 07:00 AM.
After the update, Android phones will automatically receive a software update notification. Once installed, the updated software should resolve the ampersand issue. To verify your Android device has updated properly:
Open the Notes Traveler application on the device, hit the Menu key, and select About. The product version number should be 8.5.2.1 201102181537.
If you still experience problems with folder names containing an ampersand, or if you experience new problems after the update, please contact the UNL IS Computer Help Center for assistance.
UNL Information Services discovers flaw involving folder names on all Android devices using Lotus Traveler
2011.02.17 — 14:00 CST
When an Android device subscribes to a folder name containing an ampersand (&), the folder's name is erased in the Lotus Notes client. If multiple folders with ampersands have been subscribed to, those folders will be permanently removed. However, any e-mails within the folder(s) are preserved inside the All Documents view of the Lotus Notes client. If multiple folders have been erased, the only way to retrieve the folder structure is for the Lotus Notes Team to restore the mailfile from backup.
We have contacted IBM and informed them of the problem. IBM has replicated the issue and their engineers are determining a solution.
Until IBM releases a fix, the Lotus Notes Team advises all Android Traveler users against subscribing to any folder containing an ampersand (&) in the name.
In the meantime, renaming the folder appears to be a suitable work-around. The Lotus Notes Team will notify Traveler users of any updates via e-mail and the Lotus Notes homepage.
Right Click fix for Today@UNL images
2010.06.02 — 10:00 CDT
If Today@UNL images appear as red X's in Lotus Notes, PC users can use the right-click button on the mouse and scroll to "Show Images."
Mac users using a mouse that does not have a right-click button can right-click by holding down the "control" key, click on a red X, then scroll to "Show Images."
Users of the Lotus Notes 8 client and a Notes 8 template should have a bar at the top of the message that allows images to appear when "Show Images" is clicked.
Faculty and staff can also click "Problem viewing? Click here to read online" to access Today@UNL through a web browser.

Beware of Phishing Emails
What are Phishing Emails?
From Wikipedia:
In computing, phishing is an attempt to criminally and fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. eBay, PayPal and online banks are common targets. Phishing is typically carried out by email or instant messaging,[1] and often directs users to enter details at a website, although phone contact has also been used.[2] Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to fool users.[3] Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical measures.
How Can I Protect Myself?
Reputable sources will not ask you to reply to emails with personal information such as passwords, date of birth, or social security numbers. Check out Informations Service's Phishing Website for more info and examples of current emails being sent.
