Lotus Notes is much too heavyweight for just an e-mail program. But for integrated database/work-flow/task management/calendar/e-mail all together I think it fits for medium size companies upwards. You can probably find better tools to do each of the individual elements, but to do them all with one administration etc it's not bad. And there aren't that many viruses that attack Notes. I'll move the rest of this discussion offline as it is probably irrelevant to most listeners. <Nothing new there then!>

On a cheerier note, can you believe what the Black Caps did today?No, and frankly I don't believe it. Imagine sitting in an airport lounge and watching three Paki wickets fall, blip, blip, blip. Maybe all those allegations about match-fixing aren't just Indian paranoia after all! And maybe Faldage could tell us how its done ...

Actually, I'd like to hear about it, and any other expertise you care to share. Instead of moving it off line, why not start a thread in Misc and moving it there? It would likely resurface from time to time. What do you say? Vorwaerts!
This is Binky, wishing you a pleasant from the rings of Saturn, signing off.

Oh dear. Can't you just savour a great Kiwi triumph, including Macmillan's world record? Or is it only with the All Blacks that you believe New Zealand can ever win anything? cheer the sunshine warrior

Outlook Express was installed when I bought the computer.
So how, and should, I get rid of it?
What subsitute?
Will addresses book and all the saved stuff disappear?
I've been using Netscape's mail. It's very simple, full-featured, and has yet to really screw me up. In my experience, it's better to leave both Outlook and Outlook Express installed, just ignore them....
You can probably export your Outlook addresses in a generic format (look under the File menu). Then import them into Netscape (File menu again). When you install Netscape, it might pick up your favorites from Outlook automatically.....

Shanks sniffs: Oh dear. Can't you just savour a great Kiwi triumph, including Macmillan's world record? Or is it only with the All Blacks that you believe New Zealand can ever win anything?Irony is a difficult "emotion" to convey in writing, isn't it? As for Macmillan, if I were Stephen Fleming I'd have his guts for garters - they were playing test cricket, fer cryin' out loud, not the limited overs game! Actually, I was much more impressed with the bowling than the batting - it's an area the Black Caps have had a rather bad time with of recent times! Consistent line and length - now there's a new departure.

... and let's not forget the personal triumphs involved in maiden centuries by a pair of opening batsmen ...
I say, in fact, that we should have, oh, around 3 seconds' silence for the Pakistanis, I really do.

Of course, Ro* sounds like a shill for Notes-- but I am worse-- I love Notes-- for the past year, my job has been rolling out Notes to 1200 users, across 3 sites (NY, NJ, and PR) and providing 3rd level support and first level and second level training-- and it has been the cleanest roll out i have ever been part off-- we only experience a 2% increase in calls to the help desk during the first six months! (No, i can't take credit-- i am just part of the team)
CK--the problem with Notes is, its a DB system--not a standard file system-- but not as standard DB-- but it act much more like a standard DB than a file based system. Once you catch on to that, everything else procedes logically!

Helen,
You either love Notes or loathe it. I see it as the answer to a question no one has asked. You're making a living from it!
Nolo contendere ! [smile}
