Apparently back in the day if you were WPP you HAD to buy it, now ofcourse you don't, but it's too much of a pain for most comapanies to migrate. I have discovered however that it does have POP and IMAP access, but I'm yet to try it out... Are you chaps WPP too?

I'm back in a Notes world right now -- haven't used it since doing some work for Fallon, and before that hadn't seen it since working at Lowe Howard-Spink in the mid 90s. Notes was designed to help colleagues in large companies with lots of offices to work together. Then email came along. For those of us who live at the other end of the curve, it's a gross imposition on the way we work and think. Incidentally, my favourite bit in Notes is where Command-N brings up a new database, rather than a new document, "memo", calendar event, or whatever-the-hell-you-wanted. Because, you know, we really need those databases. It is ghastly, isn’t it!?
