Jen,
If you plan on going to Notes, you had better give up drinking and start
going to some form of religion.
The only ones I've met are boring, non-drinking, bible thumping freaks!
Ask me how I really feel.
Tom

You guys have been pretty entertaining today. Actually I have been
considering the conversion from Exchange to Domino for a while
but this has
been quite informative. This really must be a hot topic right now; I just
received a tech target newlsetter comparing the two a few minutes
ago. As a
fledling admin I haven't been very excited with the concept of converting
the entire campus to AD to get the (what seems to me) limited benefits of
EX 2K. Unfortunately I haven't found many other viable options
either. Since
this is an Exchange-stroking sort of group, I wouldn't expect
that you would
have any advice? I guess if I have you guys around I can use your help on
the conversion. ;-)

Excellent IBM and is thorough the reply, best! Patrick!
Now, when I am forced to use the Outlook client, I am feel like
something
is missing.
Please elaborate. Given that Outlook is the most widely used
email client
in the world, what do you feel is missing?

ignore senders email address/client
I am a Notes user, and initially couldn't stand the Client. You are
correct, not initially intuitive etc...(trust me, I was pretty excited
when I first heard that you can use the Outlook client with the a Notes
Server). However, once you become familiar with the functionality and
interface, it is actually pretty nice. No, it does not have the
trademark
MS'ified GUI (go figure!!) For me, I think the hard part of accepting
Notes was that I KNEW Outlook, and didn't want to take time to learn the
new client. Dont get me wrong, I do not dislike Outlook/Exchange (that's
how I make a living).
I am on Notes R5. I dont know what version you were primarily hammering,
but I actually like it. Now, when I am forced to use the
Outlook client, I
am feel like something is missing. My mail server has only
been down once
in two years (that I am aware of) and I have never had to call
a help desk
on it. (yes, of Course Exchange can also run as long if properly
admin'd-maybe even if not!!). I am an Exchange Admin, and only
USE Notes,
so I am not aware of the technical issues personally.
As far as Database functionality, I love that part of Notes
now. I guess
you could get the same features elsewhere, although I am not sure they
would integrate as smoothly. An observation I have made over that past
couple years- it seems that a majority of people who demand more than
simple messaging are Notes users. I probably (off record) wouldn't
recommend Notes to your basic email user (simple text messages) who
already has issues understanding Outlook. The learning curve may not be
worth it for some end users. That said, I dont know if I could
do as much
with out Notes.
Just my .02 worth...no need for anyone to flame. Nothing above
is intended
to be blanket statements, just some general thoughts on the subject.
/blah blah

P.S Perhaps you could post your Alternative Notes FAQ with Williams
Alternative Operating System/Email etc plan when he finishes it ; )

Well. I haven't heard you rant like that since someone mentioned
Groupshield.
