I have a general, curosity question about Lotus Notes.

The company I work for now uses this 'thing'. It is my first exposure to it. Every where I've ever been has used Outlook/Exchange.

When I come in in the morning, and fire up Lotus Notes, there is never, ever and new mail waiting for me.

A half an hour later when I decide to check mail again, there are like 10 new mail messages waiting, all having been sent the prior day.

Everyone around my office hates Lotus Notes and hates that fact that the company forced them to go to Lotus Notes, so it is something of a point of pride that noone, and I mean no one, has ever learned anything about Lotus Notes beyond how to do the most basic stuff, so no one can tell me why it takes this stupid mail package so much time to deliver mail that was sent a day ago.

Does anyone know why this happens?
