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.
