I personally do not use Lotus Notes (have seen it) and hope I do not have to use it. We are NOT using it for email, but rather to track project activity. I have asked if it is possible to read the contents entered into a Lotus Notes record and extract it out to be manipulated elsewhere. Anyway, definetely not using any email capability at all.

>We use it here for its e-mail capabilities. I suggest loading the client and the Domino Designer development package so you can look at the docs on the Domino objects. These objects allow you to use the Domino database without having the client UI completely loaded. The Lotus objects require that the user have already opened the Lotus Notes UI and logged in.
