Just a quicky to see what you all use at your place of work.
Personally we use Domino / Notes

Notes is horrible!!

We use exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003 and 2007 clients.
Upgrading exchange to a newer version is proving to be a royal PITA :p

Exchange 2007 along with Outlook 2003 and OWA here. I like it, but then I would say that...I chose it! :p

Before that we had a Mercury Mail server and some proprietary client that crashed every time it saw an e-mail over about 2mb, so anything would have been an improvement! Migrating from that to Exchange wasn't fun, but it was worth it.

MS really screwed around with Exchange 2007 compared to 2003, and I found it quite a steep learning curve. The new interface is good and bad - PowerShell makes automating things easy, but you're forever looking up arcane commands to do relatively minor things, because they couldn't be bothered to put the functions in the GUI (including public folder management until SP1 came along). It does have some nice features though.

Out of curiosity, why is migration a PITA? If you run a 2003 and 2007 server alongside each other, and move the mailboxes over gradually it shouldn't be too bad I wouldn't have thought? :)

We've switched to Notes and TBH due to company policies and the way we use it it's nothing but a PITA.

The last place I worked also used Notes but they used it much better and showed the users how to get the most from it. This place just disables features and confuses users then expects them to sing its praises :lol:

Jesue wept. How do IBM justify that rubbish?

and that's just one flaw that I thought of, when at home, after a beer. Imagine how many I could list if I was sat at work infront of Notes. Or C**ting Notes as the shortcut is called on my PC.
