RE: Run Lotus Notes 6 on MS Exchange 5.5 ~Sven Nontumily 20.Jun.03 01:46 PM a Web browser Notes Client 6.0.1Windows NT
Actually what you say is true either way. There is no native "interface" between either of the competing clients with the opposite competing server. Each has it's own set of capabilities. Exchange is mainly a messaging system and Domino is a messaging/application server system.
Notes clients/Domino servers.
Outlook clients/Exchange servers.
There is no native client/server swapping (i.e. Notes/Exchange....Outlook/Domino) out of the box.
Domino will let the Outlook client access it "natively" with "Domino Access for Outlook," (iNotes for Outlook) but the Notes client is very preferable as far as native access to the Domino server. There's also webmail, "Domino Web Access" (iNotes), Domino Offline Services (for working with local replicas of Domino DBs directly in a browser, without installation of the Notes client). Lots of options you have with Domino.
If you're an Exchange admin, it will take some getting work to get going on Domino, obviously. Sure, both products have their strengths and weaknesses, but that's any product competing with any other.
