Exchange to Notes - anyone done it?

[steinooo]

Hi all,

Has anyone ever migrated from Exchange to Notes?

What is involved? I am well out of the loop when it comes to E-mail, having previously been a bit part Exchange man only.

Am I right in thinking it's a simple case of creating a Notes server then changing the MX records at the provider level to point to Notes instead of Exchange?

Or is there more to it?

Cheers in advance!

Thanks for the replies guys, lol at the hate for it, I totally sympathise, it's not good compared to Exchange. Like Ev0 though, I'm new with this company (for 9 months) and Notes isn't going anywhere fast.

I had an update today though which let me know that the company i'm trying to change to Notes only use Exchange internally for comms between each other....so hopefully no messing with NAT or MX records...

Reading about it though on paper it should be an awesome product, as you said it's an app development type collaboration software that just so happens has an email app. It's kind of email, sharepoint, db etc all in one place.

I still don't quite 'get' it yet and agree as an end user all I want is my email, diary and contact list

But it's never going anywhere at my new place, ever I'd have thought.

It's not a collaboration tool, it's just got a place to host documents. It has no version control etc.... Basically an email client which has **** versions of other prodcuts bolted on
