Hate to disagree but Notes is the e-mail *client*. The server is Domino.

I've used/maintained a domino server and the 300+ users on it and I can tell you now, its outdated, clunky and integrates poorly into other systems. I really cant understand why they would bother updating their OS to deal with it!]]>Nov 21st 2008 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/Nov 20th 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/Nov 20th 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/Nov 20th 2008 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.nsf/home]]>Nov 20th 2008 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/Such as Lotus Notes support for Linux and Macs means that it is gaining market-share and Lotus continues to see year-on-year revenue growth..... Or that Lotus Notes is now open-source based, running upon the Eclipse platform.... Or that the latest version, Notes 8, has been winning awards for its new look and user-experience.

To "Police" you should switch to Symphony, the Lotus improved version of OpenOffice. Did I mention its free?]]>Nov 20th 2008 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/Nov 20th 2008 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/Nov 20th 2008 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/
Lotus Notes has some very hardcore tech at its roots, but like many concept driven products, suffers from usability issues.

And the current version is based on the open source Eclipse, making it easier for third parties to develop modules that can interact with it.]]>Nov 20th 2008 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/
We deal with two companies of equal size. Each has about 5000 workstations. One uses Exchange, one uses Domino. They both use the same number of servers (2 each for redundancy), neither company is 'crippled' with viruses, and in point of fact, the Domino servers experience far more downtime than the Exchange servers. (and since IBM Global Services hosts the Domino servers, I would assume they would know what they're doing...but perhaps not) Domino may be a fantastic mail server...I don't deal with that side of things, but Notes has always has been, a pile of crap. I see nothing in version 8 that is making me change my mind.

We're talking about a piece of software written so ineptly that a separate piece of software (Zapnotes) was developed because people were sick of having to log off/log on/restart whenever Notes crashed.

Now, in all fairness, it's good to see that Notes 8 has been rebuilt from scratch, but in all of our pilot tests it still seems as bloated and tempermental as 7.]]>Nov 20th 2008 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/nokia-adds-support-for-lotus-notes-in-symbian-s60/

Remember to apply the newest template. :-) Although it is still Beta 2 but it is really cool.
While.. Lotus is not an email system.. it's more like a collaboration and work flow application platform.

Many people hate Lotus Notes as they were stuck with versions over the past 20 years. I don't blame them - if you are running Lotus Notes 5, 6, or 6.5 you are working with products that are at least 6 years old. Recently it has come a long way. If you looked at 8.0, look again even now - its a lot faster and more functionality.

As for the server side - IMO you can do more with one domino server then you can with any other "email" product. Its an application platform. Look at what we do with just two domino servers.
