to quote notes_dude: “I know lotus notes has it’s share of little bug and things that might seem odd. As a mail application it does so much more than Outlook would ever hope to achieve.”

really now. i want to send and receive email how complicated does it need to be? tell me. sure, it can do many wonderful things, but the vast majority of people that this is given to, only really need it for email, nothing more. yes, the workplace carries much of the blame as the business should be giving out proper software according the the workers’ needs. however some of the blame should go to the lotus notes dev team. if you say that your software should be doing something, then it should do it right. not like lotus notes. i say the email bit should be cut out entirely and just leave the bits that it does well.

there are many people on this that say to use a new or different version of lotus notes. but you simply do not understand, we are not permitted to. the company decides which lotus notes is used, not the lowly worker. it’s as simple as that. if i were permitted to install another version of lotus notes, i would be permitted to not use it altogether and use gmail or hotmail instead. not this piece of garbage.

I guess the thing wrong about Lotus Notes is that it’s not fool-proof. That’s why i read all the dumb posts here. Most of the post are from people without training and people who use it in the wrong way. So they hate Lotus cause they don’t understand it, that’s so smart….

Russell - sounds like you need some training - you sound like a dumbass with all your questions - you clearly don’t understand the product.

Though I’ve never repeatedly stabbed myself in the eye with a rusty, dull knife, I think that would be more pleasant than using Lotus Notes. I think the people who make the decision to use Lotus Notes should be forced to sit around and watch a Rob Schneider Film Festival with my Jewish Mother who is craving grandchildren until they apologize for their mistake.

What is with the cartoon when I type in my password?
.. One I can answer. It’s a device that uses a special code to present you with a picture that matches your password. This way no other software can pop up a box, pretend to be Notes, and ask you for your password. You’re supposed to be able to recognise it - “Hey! that’s not the right little graphic! That can’t be Lotus Notes!”. IIRC, it was to allow the software to be sold to a government department, or to get some security rating or other.

One commentor noted that notes is an development for applications.
Maybe it is.
But few people if any know how to use this convoluted application.
Even the coroporate IT gurus hate this bloated software.
Example: A response from our IT help desk, “You have to select this feature this way. Any other way will not work.”
Who would provide a tool, with multiple ways to select the tool, when only one will work!?
A ridiculously complicated piece of software, that makes it easy for naturally lazy, (clever?), people to make this mistake, is the true source of this kind of failure.

Notes is much like Novell, it needs to be put to pasture. No matter what changes are made to it, it will never satisfy todays end users and will always be over complex to use efficiently.

I loathe Lotus Notes!!!

This thread is ridiculous - you people need to learn some computer skills and stop complaining. Lotus Notes is not better or worse than any other email client. If you base your productivity on your email client alone, then you and the company you work for are in big trouble.

I know lotus notes has it’s share of little bug and things that might seem odd. As a mail application it does so much more than Outlook would ever hope to achieve. I know a lot of users are brain dead “I can’t think for my self” type F5-ing office zombies but that can’t be helped either. Maybe, instead of ranting about how bad it is, you should ask someone who knows what to do to help you with your issues. If such a person is not available maybe the company should hire someone that knows it’s shit.

And for all the people that use outlook and think it’s secure. I just need your pst file and I can read your email and send in your name. If I give you a notes mailfile you won’t be able to do shit with it.
