RE: Suggestions please for e-mail client

What out there that give you e-mail, notes, calendar, task, and journal
besides Notes and Outlook?  Now Domino supports the Outlook interface.  I
would say W2K and Exchange and change your clients to Outlook or keep Notes
and get Domino.  The latest version for the AS400, what ever that is today.
At least your users are already trained and familiar with Notes.  Which is
better, I cannot answer never having used Notes.  I do like Outlook but it
is a pig... on the PC end.

In our new venture we will not have a Domino server to connect to, so we're
not sure that sticking with Notes is worth the effort - we only use
calendar, mail, Journal and To-Do lists.  No databases or anything, but
being able to view each others calendars is essential.  The mail server is
likely (but not certain) to be an AS400/iSeries.

In making suggestions please bear in mind that:

Mail replication and remote access capabilities are essential.
We are _not_ Unix literate (and in no hurry to become so) so self-assembly
kits of that btype are out
The suggested software must run on W2K and Win98.
If Notes R5 is still the answer - which *!%$ version do I order?  You can
tell they are an IBM company  - the product set is as confusing as
possible!
