Lotus Notes is the premier, integrated desktop client option for accessing e-mail, calendars and applications on IBM Lotus Domino server. Business decision-making cycles are highly collaborative, and e-mail is only a small part of the technology solution. Think outside the in-box. Join the millions of users who benefit from increased productivity through Lotus Notes client software infused with collaboration.

What's New

Version 8.5.3:

Improve your mail experience through the use of managed mail replicas. Many Lotus Notes mail users have optimized their mail experience by accessing a local replica of their mail instead of on the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server. But some users don't know how to create or maintain a local replica. Now, Lotus Domino administrators can create and configure local replicas through policies using the new managed mail replica feature.
Easily determine which archive you have open among multiple archives. When you are working in an archive, the title will say "Archive" and then the name of the archive.
Save mail messages in a .eml file format
View, as well as reserve, rooms and resources in your calendar. And private iCalendar feeds can now be added to your calendar.
Make your contacts or groups private, and gain more control over which addresses are added to your recent contacts list.
Compliance with 2009 Federal Desktop Core Configuration requirements.

Surely this should show as a Hot pick on Macupdate? It's one of the most widely used email clients, behind Outlook. Not that I actually enjoy using this at work, it's cumbersome and has annoying traits and habits).

However, the latest version is vastly improved over version 5 I used before and seems more stable.

I've been demoing the 8.51 version for a couple of weeks now and it's much improved over last versions. It's very stable and hasn't crashed and is rich in functionality. This is a great alternative to MS Exchange/Outlook. But I haven't experimented with it enough to rate it yet. There are several Java plug-ins that work on the Mac platform, but you really have to search for them. Unfortunately IBM does not seem to have a Mac page that pulls all the Mac options together for Mac users. If it did this I think they could make a large push among Mac users. Lotus Notes can be used by a single user without the need for a Domino server (which is not available on the Mac platform altho it is available on Linux) so you can use the Notes client as a standalone email client as well as calendar, to do list, and many other modules. It's more of a platform than a single app. It's worth checking out.
