I second that, notes is a horrible POS as an email app. It can be
useful as an application platform, but NOT email. Notes even has it's
own entry in the interface hall of shame. That's not to mention what a
pain it is to administer, the things that were done to try to do good
things, each users mailbox is a database, make it really painful to admin.

If your boss only wants email, it's easy, any IMAP server works fine, if
he wants calendar etc, and integrated, then it's much more difficult.
Other things mentioned here have come up again and again, I haven't
looked at them.
Good luck,
Kevin

This month's issue of PC Magazine discussed Lotus Notes being
released as
open source (and that it was an alternative to Exchange 2007). You may
want
to take a look at its integration with Outlook. I don't know anything
about
it personally but I remember reading it in the magazine.
