Since Notes R4, more and more cc:Mail features are built into Notes. The new mail
application in Notes R5 includes a separate address header in messages, type-down
addressing, faster type-ahead addressing, an inbox view that can display new messages at
the top, and a simple setup of mail rules.
IBM has incorporated many of the enhanced PIM features of Lotus Organizer into the Lotus
Notes calendar, scheduling, and task management functions. The addition of a group
calendar view makes it easier than ever for you to stay on top of multiple schedules, and to
plan your time and work so that individuals and groups are more productive.

filtering mail automatically.
