"there is nothing else that can do this - and do it in an offline manner"
silly me. I must have been drinking to say a thing like that. Hrm, that was asking for flames. My bad. And your correct, I didn't know Domino/Lotus had offline support though. It looks really quirky though, I just d/l'ed Lotus Notes and Domino 6 release canidate...looks like a have to learn their own subset of functions to get grouping views. Figured out how to get the custom properties and such...looks rather good. Too bad it doesn't integrate with Office though.
What I don't see however is being able to create a public 'folder' that is for contacts which can be added as an addressbook for resolution in outgoing mail. Of course, it can probably be done, I haven't found it yet. Either way, we need this in an open source solution ;) If we did, Microsoft and Lotus/Domino would have little choice but to follow. They're moving everything into an SQL server anyways though, so it'll be interesting to see what happens. (Oracle wants everything in Oracle, BEA wants it all in BEA, and Microsoft wants it all in MSFT SQL Server). Should would be nice if I can setup offline syncronization with offline forms that query using an SQL syntax and HTML in a asp/cf/php or jsp like offline way.
