Still need Outlook Express unfortunately.

That one I don't buy. What does it do that other mail clients
don't?

If you had said Outlook I might have believed the migration was
harder, but OE to other competing non-Microsoft mail clients is
easy, and will eliminate a big chunk of your virus risk.

I went OE to Netscape Messenger, with no issues, which is a bit
dated now, but heck if you are a Lotus shop elsewhere I think
I'd prefer Notes to OE, and I despised Notes. Of course many of
the Win32 mail clients offer MAPI, which some viruses use, but I
believe most now let you switch it off if you don't use it.

Now your file interoperability issues, is that with Lotus or
with MS Office?
