Hi all, Need some assistance, the company I am working for is using Lotus Notes 6x. (shame!!!)... they are considering a move to Lotus Notes 8 or Exchange 2007. We have done extensive eval on the user interface (Outlook). I must say they look pretty darn close, that is Lotus Notes 8 is very close

Hi William, thanks for the info. Ya we also feel that lotus is playing catch-up with Outlook and doing a pretty good job with notes 8. While MS is doing the same on the server/operational (back end). Andrew. On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 12:41 AM, William Lefkovics <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > You

My bet is you are looking for a user that is mail enabled that never got an email and never opened their mailbox. Perhaps a service account that got Exchange Attributes by accident. Even though there is no mailbox for that user Exchange thinks there is. Open ADUC that has the Exchange 2003 mana
