Lotus Notes is a workgroup computing environment. With Notes, colleagues can collaborate regardless of technical, organizational, or geographical boundaries. Notes consists of two primary programs: the Notes server and the Notes workstation. The Notes server provides services like storage of shared databases and mail routing to Notes workstation users and other Notes servers. The Notes workstation communicates with Notes servers so that users can use shared databases and read and send mail. Notes Designer is an enhanced Notes client that includes special support for developers who are building applications for delivery via the Domino server to both Notes clients and Web browsers. The Domino server supports HTTP, SSL, SMTP, MIME, POP3, IMAP, LDAP, and NNTP. It is available in two configurations: the Lotus Domino Mail server, which is a complete messaging server, and the full Domino server, which combines Domino Mail server messaging functionality with the power of Internet and intranet application development.
