Very buggy software. The reason so many CSU campus’s are now ditching Lotus. I am very happy about that. No more headaches, and wondering what they heck were they thinking when they coded this product. Too many features that are useless, do not function properly, or cause other features to fail. Not to mention the 5 min wait when it tries to connect to the mail server after a period of non use, always much faster to close apps and reboot than wait for Lotus.

Auto dialer is an electronic device meant for communicating information and its usage is mostly found in public related services. The basic function of auto dialer is to make calls and send pre-recorded messages to people when communication is one sided only

I would expect IBM to present the video in HD. The qualtiy of the video is lousy.

and you still need a server to run the client!

I must say Lotus 8 is the cats meow. And Notes is way more robust than that other product.

Oh comme j’aimerai avoir le temps d’exprimer tout le mal que je pense de cette énorme daube.
Signé : un utilisateur écoeuré par le temps perdu à utiliser ce truc mal foutu, moche, non standard, ni convivial, ni ergonomique.

I was woking with a previous version of Notes at my job, I can say it wasn’t a good experience, because something was going wrong with the mail server. Notes was telling me that mail was delivered, and the customers did not received my mails. Again I say it was the mail server, but I expected from the program to tell me of the fail delivery. Outlook express is simpler and easy to use, and I also liked very much the old Netscape’s Collabra, which is discontinued. Thunderbird is not as good as Col

Excellent Presentation. Give a concise view of the package!

I add my opinion to yours. Lotus Notes 8.5 (on Linux) has become a fantastic buuuuullshit. Over 600 MB for an installation. Sluggish, so many useless tabs (RSS reader wtf !?) In short I used to like it but since v6.5 it stinks. IBM lost his touch in making “austere but inventive” softwares.

Lotus is Crap! Incompatable with even simple Outlook messages! Microsoft is mayby not the best corp in the World but you can simple work with it and do things.

Thanks but I can do that in Notes 6.5. Selecting mails and then having to carry out three consecutive actions i.e. Actions/Archive/Archive Selected is very cumbersome. I want to be able to drag and frop emails on-the-fly from my online folders to my offline folders like I can in Outlook/Thunderbird/Kmail etc. This is one of the biggest failings of Notes as far as I am concerned. It might seem trivial to many people but it would make my job much quicker.

Corporate market share for Notes / Domino is about 42% and for Outlook / Exchange about 45% according to the last Gartner survey. I wouldn’t say that means “everybody” uses Outlook, maybe just your friends or business. You shouldn’t just make blanket statements based on your limited experience or knowledge. Notes and Outlook can interact, that’s what standards like iCal and SMTP are for.

You can use the archive functionality to achieve this by marking messages you want to move and selecting Actions/ Archive / Archive selected documents. Just setup your “off-line” mail file as the archive target first.

But you can’t stop yourself from replying, so whos the “kid” now? Fool.

I don’t even like Notes, it has its benefits and problems like anything else. But your argument that outlook is somehow more compatible is flawed… oh so badly flawed.
The fact that you use words like ‘fanboy’ shows that your probably a 16 year old kid that knows nothing. Its pretty simple, the product wouldn’t exist if no one used it. Seriously, whats wrong with you, stop talking.

Forget it, you’re obviously a “fanboy” of a program that nobody uses.

Your right, Lotus Notes can’t email to someone who uses an Outlook client. There is no such thing as mail protocols or any architecture design behind any mailing system, certainly not outlook. Everything is incompatable, SMTP etc doesn’t exist, they are just myths.
Seriously, WHAT are you talking about!

the one thing i want to be able to do in Notes that I can’t now is drag mail from my online mailbox to an offline mail folder instead of having to cut and paste, but it doesn’t mention that here.

Actually, Notes uses a sub-view that keys of a unique identifier of conversations. This is different than simply sorting by subject. Additionally, the subject is not shown in the conversation sub-view, it is replaced by the more useful abstract (first 100 characters of the body). The sub-view makes it very easy to skim through the threads quickly and get to the information that you want. This is far superior way to view threads than anything that I’ve seen in other email products.

OOOoooh. Threads. Wow. Like other e-mail clients had years ago. Woop-de-doo. I’ve got Lotus Notes 7 right now and I hate it. I’m hoping for some real improvements. Like why can’t I synchronize my address book when I’ve got the bloody address book open?!
