I hate notes.

WARNING! this is a rant! don’t keep readin if you like the software!
Okey, so yesterday I got my daily “run out of space” message. “Your ability to send mail has been blocked” blah, blah… Of curse I had to send quite a few notes before I left the office (7pm) so I decided I had to free some space and start sending them… Nice thought. Never happened. I moved around 150+ mails to my local archive, deleted the trash… nothing, still exeeded my quota. Whatever… I’ll deal with it tomorrow.
Today is tomorrow… and I emptied everything! I mean not a single note was left on my folders (inbox, trash, sent, all of them!)… still no mail going out… I was a couple of MB over the quota…
I scratch my head, gaze the screen in puzzlment and think my alternatives. Throwing the ThinkPad through the window looks tempting… and if it makes it safe and sound the whole 7 story fall I might even end up in ThinkPad Legends… But if it doesen’t I’ll have to do a whole lot of explaining. Uninstalling notes? uh! the temptation! but not quite practical. I guess I’ll have to deal with it.
Finally I see it… a “show all documents” folder. What on earth? ALL documents are there although they are not anyplace else… Select all > delete… Shazam… 20 minutes after a stalled notes and a replication after… I have my notes back!
In my mind it made no sense at all, but at least it worked…
Now don’t get me started about publishing stuff through notes on a server!! You don’t want me going down that road!

How about unlimited email storage? Think that would increase productivity?
Hey David!
Increasing storage would welp, yes, but there’s something about how Notes handles replication that it would make it hell to syncronize a 250MB database.

PS… Something like webmail, would be nice as well, since, as you already know, flying around the globe with a PC is getting harder with all the security issues you mention in your blog.
Just a thought
Sorry that you have not been trained properly or your admins have put such a small quota on your mail database. It is easy to use provide you have a little brain power and training.
I probably lack both, particularly the brainpower part.
