Millions of people use email in Notes today: it's true client/server email, can
be customized to meet your needs, and supports true integrated groupware and
messaging.

As to the cc:Mail user experience you'll have in Notes Release 4, I can't tell
you too much about it 'cept to say I run it every day, and there's nothing else
in the marketplace to touch it.

I thing most Notes users use Notes Mail.

>>Does anyone have good stories about it?<<

The big advantage is the rich text format. The big disadvantage is that
it doesn't work with pointers like cc:Mail or other mail systems. That
means if you send a message with a 5 MB attachment to 100 users on the
network, it will use 500 MB on your Mail Server.

It's not only the interface. Notes R.4 will offer advanced
functionality, like agents, dynamic changes of sorting, etc. But the
biggest advantage is the single-copy message storage (i.e. reduced
storage reqmts as only ever 1copy of a mesg)

I hope you are not considering Notes just for the Mail. Using cc:Mail
and purchasing the 3rd party products that do the same as notes mail is
cheaper, easier to run and a better interface for the users.
