How to Use Lotus Notes Email V 6.5.5
According to IBM, Lotus Notes E-mail V 6.5.5 is a maintenance release designed for regular updates and fixes, not new features. The functionality of Lotus Notes V6.5.5 is closely based on Lotus Notes V 6.5.1. By integrating common office tasks such as e-mail, phonebook, address book, calendar and to-do lists in one software package, it saves employees time. Since it reduces the number of programs to install and maintain, Lotus Notes V 6.5.5 is also an ideal software solution for information technology departments.
