Re: DAMO question

POP3 has the same performance issues IMAP does, so it is not a good solution out of the box either. I made a lot of modifications to the views used by POP3 and that helped performance a ton for a customer of mine. I would assume the same could be done for IMAP to give it acceptable performance, but as Chris says, out of the box it is a CPU killer.

The last supported release of DAMO is 8.0.2 with some special hotfix
versions. If you go to FixCentral, you should be able to find the latest
version. As of a little over a year ago, we had a client using DAMO for a
subset of users and we had 8.5.x servers. I was also aware from an IBMer
that there was supposedly one last uber fix-pack for DAMO that had yet to
be released. But when we were on the latest level available it was mostly
stable. Though I doubt they will get support for Windows 7 "official" and
you'll be tied to older versions of Outlook mostly.

Options to the Notes Client?

iNotes
Thunderbird
Outlook
other POP3 clients

Please do not, I repeat DO NOT, try running IMAP clients against Domino. It
doesn't handle IMAP well at all. I have an iSeries customer that had a
grand total of 18 users running IMAP clients and the IMAP task constantly
used 95+% of the i's CPU. The only way that I found to solve that was to
make them implement Inbox Maintenance as IMAP was having so much trouble
keeping up with 1.5 years worth of mail in under 20 users' mail files. :-/

We are running R8.0.2 and had a recent request as to whether users could
use Outlook 2007 for their email client.

Last I heard DAMO was no longer available/supported

Has anyone been using Outlook with an R8.x server lately?

Are there any other email clients that can be used as an alternative to
Notes?

Thanks, Jerry
