    Our company has just switched from MS Outlook to Lotus Notes. What a pile of crap!!! :mad: The whole thing is so slow and GUI is as bad as it gets. For example it can't even sort my messages by subject?!

      My condolences. Time to look for a new job maybe. Michael Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software. Then they pay you to remove them again.

          That seriously bites, but it would be unfair to hold it against you... ;) Seriously though, every cloud has it's silver lining - for some insane reason loads of job ads have Lotus Notes as a point which would improve your chances of employment. Hope that is some consolation The following statement about your geekness is true. The previous statement about your geekness is false.

              Wait till you start with Lotus Notes "programming". There isn't a single feature that hasn' a bug. "In an organization, each person rises to the level of his own incompetence." Peter's Principle

                We switched ages ago the other way, but man I still have to maintain a COM component which integrates with Notes. If you think using Notes is bad, try developing for it. When we upgraded from VC6 to VC7, everything in Notes broke. I never worked out the exact reason why, bt the only way to fix it was to dump their typelibs interfaces, and switch everything over to using IDispatch, before it worked again. if(E_NOINTERFACE == pThat->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown,(void**)&pUnk)) { // I aint no pUnk bitch! }

                    Oh...sorry to hear that. Its increasingly frustrating when you are used to MS Outlook. Probably for the first time computer users won't complain much, but people who've used to standard MS Apps are badly affected. I was in Notes development couple of years back, and I found it very primitive, all C API's (for cross platform). Probably you can try using notes through web, that way its less painful (again its a relative term) :-) Kannan

                            Question is, why would anybody switch from Outlook to Lotus Notes??? Anyway, we are using Notes here at work and I can only agree with you, it's the biggest piece of sh*t that has ever been put together since sw development began... X| Honestly, try getting a new job. I do. Matthias

                                Man, I thought I was just missing something. The company I started with this year uses Lotus Notes, and I hate it. Slow, limited functionality, not intuitive. I can't even select multiple emails for deletion for God's sake!! I have to select each individually mark them and then delete the whole group. X| BW {insert witty/thought-provoking saying here}
