If you think
that's slow, you should try Lotus Notes. 
 The HMO I work for has standardized on Lotus Notes. I thought I would
 never say it, but ... I liked Outlook better. See what depths Notes has
 driven me to?
 It tries to do too much, which I guess would not be unexpected for IBM. 
 
Actually, I think it's fine for groupware, it's just too slow for email.
