Lotus Notes drives me batty. Now I realize that is probably because Outlook is buggy but emails from Lotus notes come out mis-formatted and all the images are attachments and sometimes there is random data sprinkled here and there.

Just drives me nuts.

Notes is more comparison to microsoft office, (Outlook, Access, etc). If the company is only using notes as an email client they waisted thier money. I believe outlook does a lot better job than notes, but with Notes you get a database/integrated programing with email capability.

I was using Thunderbird, switched to Mail.app for fun. I have Entourage, just haven't tried it yet. All the 250+ users at the office use Entourage, it works very well.

Our mail sever is Postfix behind a MailFoundry spam/virus filtering appliance.

Edit: I'm basing that "works very well", on the single support call I have ever gotten about it. The rest of the calls are "how do you do this/that?".

While this may be so, many of the larger client sites I have been to seem to only use Notes for email and collaboration (which is exactly how we use Exchange/Outlook). They use Office for word processing and spreadsheets. While it may be that these are only the choices of the people I interact with, it speaks volumes that many of our contracts are for MS Office integration (and I have never done a Lotus Notes integration... 1 customer had me sending emails to Domino which in turn would run a script of one sort of another -- but that was the only integration I have seen).


So while my knowledge may be a little off on the subject (having never used Notes before) -- I am pretty confidant that many organizations use Office for documents and Lotus for email/collaboration. I am pretty sure that IBM has pricing options for people who do not want the full integrated Office experience.
