The view that's used to display the inbox in ND8x is a java view. It's not a normal notes view. Until now you had to use various tricks to create a view that looked like a java view, and behaved like one. The problem is that you've got little control over the view.

On April 30th IBM has published a document on developerworks describing the STable class. The small print says "It is one of the core components of IBM® Lotus® Notes® 8 Java™ views ".
Which means: the inbox view you see is an javaView. When you use the activity sidebar plugin: What you see there is also a javaview.
Those javaviews are built using the sTable class.

it's not easy to create a view with this stuff, and the part for reading data from Notes is not included, so you have to code that yourself. But the sTable class is quite fascinating!

Even more Java applets are expiring on May 18, 2009. This is does not mean security has been compromised, it only means that the signature originally used in the security certificate for the Java applets has expired.
This affects Lotus Domino 6.5.x, Domino 7.0.x, Domino 8.0.x, and Domino 8.5. More information at this issue can be found at the IBM website.

To resolve this issue you can download and apply a fix. If using version 7 you can also upgrade to version 7.0.4, in which the updated signatures have been included.

Use full links:

Title: "Security certificate expiration messages generated from Domino applets (May 18, 2009)"

Title: "Download re-signed Java applets for Lotus Domino (May 18, 2009)"
URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg24022981

Alternatively, an interim fix will be posted to Fix Central for the latest Modification and Fix Pack levels by May 8th. These include Domino 6.5.6 FP3, 7.0.3 FP1, 7.0.4, 8.0.2 FP1, and 8.5.0. If you're not running one of these releases, access the download document above, which provides fixes for all supported release levels.

UPDATE 12-05-2009

IBM has issued a warning that the Verisign certificate the Lotus Sametime Meeting Server applets are signed with, will expire on 18 May 2009. After that date, users who attempt to load a Sametime applet, such as the Meeting Room Client or Directory appliet, will get a security warning: "The application's digital signature has an error. Do you want to run the application?" or "The digital signature was generated with a trusted certificate but has expired."

To fix this issue: the re-signed applets for two Sametime server versions are now available on Fix Central at the following links.

Sametime 7.0 server fix
Sametime 7.5.1 CF1 server fix
Sametime 7.5.1 CF2 server fix
Sametime 8.0 server fix
Sametime 8.0.1 server fix
Sametime 8.0.2 server fix

IBM is still busy re-signing the Sametime applets for other server versions. This blog entry will be updated as soon as these are available.

As already reported by several security companies, the Conficker Worm has started the spreading of SPAM messages a couple of days ago.

Looking at our own number of messages being blocked I am seeing a 100% increase over the last week.

Since the worm is slowly but steadily increasing the number of SPAM bots we might see even higher numbers in the next couple of days and weeks.
