Ovako jel mi moze ko reci da li je ovo obican email klijent,tj da li ga ja kao obican user mogu koristiti ili je on samo za uredsku primjenu unutar neke tvrtke?

znaci da li ja mogu normalno ga podesiti za svoj mail,ili je to samo za tvrtke,pa se mora dizati na njima domino server?

nadam se da netko zna,tnx unaprijed

The Notes client provides functionality that reaches far beyond a traditional email client, acting as an instant messaging client (for Lotus Sametime), browser, notebook, and calendar/resource reservation client, as well as a platform for interacting with collaborative applications. Supporters of the Notes client regard the easy interoperability of all of these roles a major advantage in multiple-application business environments. In the early days of the product, the most common applications were threaded discussions and simple contact management databases, but today Notes users have access to blogs, wikis, RSS aggregators, complete CRM and Help Desk systems, and organizations can build a wide variety of custom applications for Notes using Domino Designer.

The Notes client can be used as a IMAP and POP e-mail client with non-domino mail servers, recipient addresses can be retrieved from any LDAP server, including Active Directory. The client also does web browsing although most people configure it to launch their default browser instead.

A design client is available to allow rapid development of databases consisting of forms, which allow users to create documents; and views, which display selected document fields in columns.

Features include group calendaring and scheduling, SMTP-based e-mail (HTML based e-mail is available to Java developers), NNTP-based news support, and automatic HTML conversion of all documents by the Domino HTTP task. Notes instant messaging allows you to see your coworkers online and have chat sessions with them. A chat session can be with one person or multiple people (an instant meeting). In its latest incarnation (Notes7) it provides a web services interface. Domino can be a web server for HTML files too; authentication of access to Domino databases or HTML files uses Domino's own user directory and external systems such as Microsoft's Active Directory.

Security is built into the product. Notes was the first widely adopted software product to use public key cryptography for client-server and server-server authentication and for encryption of data, and it remains the product with the largest installed base of PKI users. Until US laws regulating encryption were changed in 2000, Lotus was prohibited from exporting versions of Notes that supported symmetric encryption keys that were longer than 40 bits. At one point, Lotus negotiated an agreement with the NSA that allowed export of a version that supported stronger keys with 64 bits, but 24 of the bits were encrypted with a special key and included in the message to provide a "workload reduction factor" for the NSA. The net effect of this was that users of Notes outside of the US had stronger protection against private sector industrial espionage, but no additional protection against spying by the US government. This implementation was not a secret - in fact it was widely announced - but with some justification many people do consider it to be a backdoor. Some governments objected to being put at a disadvantage to the NSA, and as a result Lotus continued to support the 40 bit version for export to those countries. Under current US export laws, Lotus supports only one version of the Notes PKI with even stronger keys and no workload reduction factor. The Domino server's security tools also include S/MIME, SSL 3.0 support with industry standard key sizes for HTTP and other Internet protocols, X.509 client certificates, and an integrated certificate authority.

A particular strength of Notes and Domino is its replication facilities. Servers and clients can replicate database designs and data seamlessly, across all sorts of networks (including modems). This enables users to take full advantage of Notes databases while being off-line—with the client synchronizing any changes when client and server next connect. Even while off-line full security can be preserved, but only by encrypting each database to a specified Notes ID file. Prior to Notes 6, new local replicas were created without this encryption, which led some security Web sites to claim a major security back door in Notes. With Notes 6, however, new replicas are, by default, encrypted to the Notes ID that is used to create them. Replication can be scheduled, initiated manually, or initiated programmatically. Replication takes place between a client and a server (initiated by the client) or between two servers.

In addition to being a "groupware" system (e-mail, calendaring, shared documents and discussions), Notes/Domino is a platform for developing customized client-server and web applications. Particular strengths of this platform include its security and a wealth of capabilities (design constructs and code) that facilitate the construction of "workflow" type of applications (which may typically have complex approval processes and routing of data).

Mi ga koristimo u firmi - blagi užas.

[robert7]

meni je odlican,ima sve kaj mi treba u jednome + spojit cu se na server od firme na ovaj komp doma.

ja sam zadovoljan,malo me muci jedino kako da slozim i gmail u lotusu,guglam pola sata vec,ali nista konkretno pa ako netko nade nacin kako podesiti da to radi ima pivu od mene
