Re: Lotus Notes or MS Outlook

Re: Lotus Notes or MS Outlook
Yep lotus notes on windows 95! 
Anyway, outlook question. I make recurring invites for what I do, but they can be for month 1,3,5 then 6,7 and 9 months. Is there any way to customize the invites to specific dates? Now, I have just resigned myself to sending multiple invites to cover all the months.
Re: Lotus Notes or MS Outlook
MS Outlook is a much more user friendly application. Lotus Notes was good in late 90's but hasnt kept pace with the changing needs of the users.
Re: Lotus Notes or MS Outlook

Re: Lotus Notes or MS Outlook
Oh my goodness... Lotus Notes is hideous!!! THE worst application I've ever had the misfortune of using. lol
MetLife still used Lotus Notes up until last year. They finally made the switch to Outlook.

Re: Lotus Notes or MS Outlook
I tried doing this and then making the change, but once someone accepts it, it wasn’t letting me make the changes for some reason? I was wondering if you could make changes initially (1,3,5, 8, 9 months etc) and then send one notice. This way I am flooding everyone’s mailboxes with multiple meeting notices.
PS I tried saving the meeting and making changes, but once someone accepts the schedule (for example, my original is each month) then the changes for 1,3,5,8,9 would disappear and the meeting would be for each month. I am surprised microsoft dropped the ball on such an important calendar event.

Re: Lotus Notes or MS Outlook
Lotus notes is definitely on its death bed. Their strength is security ( every account is a small encrypted db packaged as a .nsf file ) and that is how they managed to sell so much ...mostly to finance sector. When they realized the world is moving on, they started patching it to support concepts like webmail, 3rd party email clients etc. and made things worse. The only reason they are still around is coz in finance sector, they hate change and do so only as the last resort ( Remember Y2K ? ). I won't be surprised if they likes of Metlife etc are still using COBOL.
I don't mind MS outlook, but I have been using Thunderbird past few years.

Sending chittis by kabutar now?
Btw, wasn’t there some support issues by thunderbird leading many to use Zimbra? I use em5 client at home (syncs calendar and email) but the free version only allows 3 accounts.
You can never get rid of outlook as far as enterprise goes. I guess that you can with web outlook but that is third class compared to the outlook program.
No kabutars. Using bander…name is goga gujar:smooth:
Can you use lotus with IMAP?
Re: Lotus Notes or MS Outlook

Wasnt always this easy though.
Re: Lotus Notes or MS Outlook
Never heard of lotus notes.
Recurring meetings easily set up as follows
Schedule meeting
Select recurs every week. So each week same time.
Have not done for recurring once in two weeks. Once in 4 weeks.
MSFT probably overvalued due to Nadella hype.

Web outlook is the worst. There are too many functional limitations on it.
