Why I can’t stand Lotus Notes on Mac … or at all
Mathieu | Thursday, July 31st, 2008 | 1 Comment »Centennial College uses Lotus Notes for its e-mail program and I can’t stand it. I have been working on the Mac platform since I started there ten years ago and I’ve never once had a good experience with Lotus Notes.
Here are the things I can’t stand about Lotus notes – particularly on a Mac but some apply to both platforms:
- It hangs if I leave it open for more than 10 minutes
- You create a new message by pressing command + m. ??? Why not command + n? Right … because that creates a new database! I’m always wanting to do that in my e-mail program!
- It takes forever to launch
- It automatically includes the attachment in the reply unless you specify that it doesn’t
- Command + r, which normally replies to a message does nothing, unless you’re in a message and then it brings up the rulers.
- It gives me error messages whenever someone has put a ruler in their message and I reply to it
There are a few more but they’re escaping my memory right now. I’ll add to this post as I think of them.

The “M” in command + m = Message
The “N” in command + n = New (data base)
It makes perfect sense.
