Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook
Description
Lets you replace your Microsoft Exchange server
with Domino server to leverage extensive
messaging capabilities

• Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook delivers the
  leading messaging, calendaring and scheduling,
  and personal information management services of
  Domino to the Outlook 2000 or 2002 client.
• Organizations can improve the reliability and
  scalability of their messaging infrastructure, by
  upgrading from Microsoft Exchange to Domino
  without needing to change clients.
• The Microsoft Outlook user experience is
  virtually unchanged with Domino Access for
  Outlook users simply work with their mail,
  calendar and task data on Domino instead of
  Microsoft Exchange.
• Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook also gives
  Microsoft Outlook users the additional benefits
  of Domino Messaging features not available with
  Exchange.

  enabling Domino and Outlook data to be
  interchanged.

  to access Domino. In 6.51. we now utilize NRPC.
• Installation Package and Client Upgrade

  Windows MSI installer.

  client.

• Extended in 6.51 to provide access to Domino
  preferences
