When I was at P&H Mining, we had OV/MVS for several years. We got it when there were very few PCs in the company. Most people who had PCs, and did emails or document writing on the mainframe didn't like OV/MVS. It was much more cumbersome to use than a PC. When most people had PCs, we got rid of OV/MVS. I don't remember when though. I know the OV/MVS email system was not connected to the internet.
There was a project to allow people to send from OV/MVS to people within the company who had Groupwise, and vice versa, but that project was never completed.
