What email program do you use at work?
At the bank where I work now, we use Outlook. I've always found it easy to navigate, straight-forward, and user friendly.
Next week, I start a new job with a different bank (my bank is actually merging into the new bank where I'm going to work ) and I'll be forced to make the move to Lotus Notes.
I recently took a web-based training, which overviewed the application, and my reaction was as follows...
Um, I think I might need to take a full-on college course, grad school style, in order to understand this madness. Seriously. I am not qualified to use this application.
I just printed out a "quick reference guide" to have at my fingertips next week. There is nothing quick about it. It is a bible: twenty-one pages devoted to general user knowledge.
I don't know if it's just me (and my occasional aversion to change) but the program seems old-school, archaic. It reminds me of when my parents first got the internet in the nineties, and we had dial-up Juno.
For any of you tech-savy people of there, are you familiar with Lotus? How does it compare to Outlook?

Comments
it looks fairly similar to outlook... the real outlook, not outlook express.
@ Kay-tee - thanks for the link!
@ Jayme - What, commenting on blogs on your day off?! That's dedicationspice. Also, Ron Farmer is here!
@ Bethany - Thanks for the encouragement!
@ Shandal - Glad to hear that it wasn't too difficult to navigate. :)
I had to do the switch and it sucked every day.
The ass I worked for was an old school geek and thought it was the best.
I still miss Notes, but like everyone else said, they are similar and getting more so all the time.
