Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook 6.5.1


Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook delivers the leading messaging, calendaring and scheduling, and personal information management services of Domino to the Outlook 2000 or 2002 client.

Organizations can improve the reliability and scalability of their messaging infrastructure, by upgrading from Microsoft Exchange to Domino — without needing to change clients.

The Microsoft Outlook user experience is virtually unchanged with Domino Access for Outlook; users simply work with their mail, calendar and task data on Domino instead of Microsoft Exchange.

Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook also gives Microsoft Outlook users the additional benefits of Domino Messaging features not available with Exchange.

Description

Lets you replace your Microsoft Exchange server with Domino server to leverage extensive messaging capabilities
