Have you ever spent hours in drafting a mail and lost it because your system got crashed? Those of you who had experienced this will appreciate how useful the autosave option is. Lotus Notes client version 7 has this feature included in it, however it is not enabled by default and has to be enabled by users by changing the settings in the user preferences. When Autosave is enabled and if your system or Lotus Notes crashes while drafting a mail, the draft can be recovered without having to start from the scratch. You can assign interval durations at which autosave can happen. To enable this feature go to File - Preferences - User Preferences and in the Basics view enable the Autosave option listed in the Startup Options. Also assign the interval at which the draft must be saved.
