4.0 out of 5 stars
Best user guide available, but not the best it could be,
By The Grumpy Hacker (Milwaukee - Top 5000 Reviewer!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 10 Minute Guide to Lotus Notes 6 (Paperback)
Due to company mergers I was switched from Microsoft Outlook 2000 to Lotus Notes 6.5. For those who've never used Notes let me assure you it's nothing like any other email client, and if you've ever heard anyone complain about Notes they were probably justified. I compared this and three other books on Notes: How to Use Lotus Notes R6, Using Lotus Notes and Domino 6, and Lotus Notes 6 for Dummies. I thought this book was the best for someone like me, needing to use Notes for email, contacts, and calendaring, but not too much database "collaboration" or programming.
This book is a no-frills, concise overview of major Notes features with lots of step-by-step how-tos on common tasks. It isn't really well-suited for someone who's not comfortable using a computer because it packs a lot of info on every page without unnecessary filler, has fewer screen shots than other books, and it's entirely black and white--this book is more for people who're comfortable "messing around" with Notes to get used to it and provides pointers to places where things are kind of obscured in Notes. I've used many email clients and I work with computers for a living, but after fiddling with Notes for a few days there are still some things I just can't get a grip on like Replicating (sort of like Synchronizing in Outlook) and Archiving (very loosely related to PST files in Outlook), and there are many preferences/settings that aren't easy to find, or find again later, without the help of a book like this. This book is great to get you started without having to wade through the amusing rhetoric and diatribe of a Dummies book or the extraneous programming sections of a more comprehensive guide. Unfortunately neither this book nor any of the others I looked at completely explained how to do some things in Notes that were very easy in Outlook like synchronizing to disk so you can work with email while offline, and saving email to disk so you can go back and read/reply much later. This and the other books simply said "it's a good idea to delete email you no longer need so it doesn't clutter up your Inbox." This makes no sense to someone who's used to saving every single email in offline folders. It definitely isn't a "guide to Notes for Outlook users." If you're new to Notes but not a timid user of computers and email this book will help get you started quickly and later serve to remind you of things Notes puts in odd places. If you've used Notes before but are new to R6 or 6.5, this book may give you some useful info on new features but it may not clearly differentiate them. If you want the most info with the minimum to read (or pay!), this is the ticket. In any case if you're trying to figure out how to make Notes synchronize and archive email like Outlook, this book mentions those things but since they're somewhat foreign concepts in Notes you won't get the detail you're looking for, if it even exists!
