Notes

This is a simple thing, but one that is very valuable, especially when doing domain changes, email migrations or corporate mergers.
The important piece which people forget is what to do when the syntax is caps or lower case.
This script solves that problem by setting the existing email to lowercase.

Instructions:
NOTE: Presumes you already have your Directory/NAB (Names.nsf) open
1) From the Notes top menu, click on Create, then click on Agent. In the window that opens, give the agent a name and description
2) Select FORMULA
3) Copy then paste in the code
4) Edit the existigname.com to your domain (ex: lotusrocks.com)
5) Edit the newname.com to the new domain (ex: hclrocks.com)
6) Save your agent
7) Test the agent by going back to your Directory and go to a test person in the list of users
8) Click on Action from the Notes Menu and find your new Agent and click on it to run it
9) Open the person doc and see if all looks good, if not, check your syntax

SELECT Form = "Person";
@If(
	InternetAddress=""; "";
	@Do(
		addr := @LowerCase(InternetAddress);
		tmp := @ReplaceSubstring(addr; "@existingdomain.com";"@newname.com");
		@SetField("MailAddress"; tmp)
	)
)
