It can happen to anyone.

Our network administrator keeps a copy of the latest backup tapes on a shelf above his keyboard. While working on his mail file in Lotus Notes, the tape falls on his keyboard, hitting the delete and enter key. He ends up deleting all of his Notes e-mail information.
By complete accident.

What are the odds?

Notes' only benefit

[alex-victory.livejournal.com]

Because fewer people use it, there aren't any worms AFAIK that target it specifically.

Every email worm that comes through, our Mutual Funds division, who use Outlook/Exchange, get hammered, while we (using Notes) are basically OK.

This is also true.

I am more focused on the functionality of the software.

The incompetence of ppl opening unexpected email file attachments is a completely different rant all together. Especially when you are working at a tech company where ppl should know better.

I use Outlook for my personal e-mail, and to keep things out of our work/Notes servers. Most of the viruses that have hit NHP (and some have nigh on crippled us) were inflicted through Outlook Express. By people in our database managment department. Incliding two people who opened infected emails three times. THREE TIMES!
