As I understand Notes - there are a couple of ways to get your mail - one is what we used to call Island - which was a dial up but not necsssarily logging into the network - the other was called Office which was what your desktop is conncted to. Conceivably you long in say from your hotel room and synchronize your mail with the server. IF you don't log into the network id file has to reside on the laptop. WHich is fine. We'd like to see a copy in his home directory - just in case say his hard drive crashed. Also fine - the problem may be when or if he changes his password. I think someone said these were timestamped so there could be an issue. When I was at Philips Medical the Notes Admins could retrieve 3 pairs - of ID and Password - they were not necessarily stored together.
