Well, actually email WAS an add on product to Notes. Workflow and the
databases were it's first priority.
That being said, however, I think you are right that there is some
customization being done at your shop, or some plot to intentionally
damage Notes in order to foist someone else's favorite server on the
public at large.
Yes, as you acknowledge, my folders do appear bold and do tell me the
number of unread entries for each folder, drillable down into the
subfolders. I'd be happy to send you an offlist screen shot if you want.
I use "Rules" to put emails into different folders. I have a folder
called AAALIST. Underneath that is a different folder for each midrange-l
list I am subscribed to. Quite an extensive number of rules actually. I
occasionally find anomalies when adding a rule that leads me to believe
that there is a limit on the number of rules you can have and it starts
playing "the little bear rolled over and the one fell out" under the
covers. But, all-in-all, I am quite happy with it. If you need some
offlist screen shots of the folders and rules let me know.
We migrated from MS Exchange and would never go back.
The support I get when I call the Notes people is always good. Granted
I've been on the phone with them enough to have actually received an
invitation to one support person's wedding reception and looked up another
at COMMON to share a beer with.
