The honeymoon is over with IBM's Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook. Only 4 out of 5 emails I sent today actually went out. One, fairly lengthy email with a PPT attachment apparently went into the abyss. It is in my Outlook sent folder, but I have yet to get a single response to mail.
Speaking of the Sent folder..yet another reason not to use the client that Domino provides for Outlook. Items sent will only be viewable from your Outlook client. These mails will never make it to the sent folder in your Lotus Notes mailbox.
I did not think I would be saying this, but I am better off just sucking it up and using the Notes web client for mail. I simply cannot wait until the Exchange conversion. I will dance a jig that day.
And on that note, how many people do you bump into who say they are converting to Lotus Notes? I'd be willing to bet that conversions to MS Exchange/Outlook far outweigh conversions to Lotus. At a recent holiday party, a new colleague formerly with IBM in hardware sales told me that whenever she introduced herself as an employee of big blue, a typical reaction was "I hate Lotus Notes." Her only retort was, "Me too. But I have nothing to do with that product."
