Yes. But unfortunately there are some companies that have Domino
servers. As at my workplace here, for example. The admins refuse to
open IMAP and POP3 ports, so I have to stick with VMware, and can't
even have some sort of biff running to check for new mails.

Even if it is proprietary, I think Domino is still widely used in companies,
and it would be nice to have support for it. This would help bring Kde
into more companies, IMO.

Btw, Mauro, do you use the proprietary Notes/Domino protocol, or
do you use POP/IMAP ports?

Kind regards,
Stefan
