Subject: ND8 - Client? Server? What do I need?
Feedback Type: Question
Product Area: Notes 8 Client
Technical Area: Open Mic
Platform: Windows Vista client
Release: Notes and Domino 8 - GOLD
Reproducible: Not applicable

I'm a single-person business with about 50 projects per year.

I used to use Outlook 2003 to keep track of my projects and e-mail.

But, I got rid of Outlook 2003 because of regular DB corruption issues from file size exceeding 1.8GB.

I'm now using Mozilla's Thunderbird/Lighting software. But it hasn't the bells and whistles that I need to flag, mark, store and add ticklers to my projects and e-mails.

I've looked at Act! but didn't think it did what I need.

I'm thinking I should migrate to Notes but can't find any useful info. targeted to my project-based work flow nor to my hardware setup:

I've got a Vista Ultimate desktop with my data kept on a RAID1 Linux (Ubuntu) server on my LAN (that backs up to an external HDD every night). I've also got an XP SP2 laptop for road trips.

I want calendaring, contacts, e-mail (IMAP & POP3) and ToDo capabilities on the desktop and the ability to synch to the laptop when I travel.

Is Notes 8 for me? Installed on the desktop? Laptop? Or both? Do I even need Domino?

Can someone please take the time to advise me? Many thanks.

Gerry.
