Have a company that's looking to host a BES for their clients. They are wanting to use DOMINO as their mail server. They have some clients that have Outlook clients. Will there be any disadvantages with their clients using the Outlook client accesing DOMINO? On the other side they're main reason that they want to use DOMINO is became they host DOMINO databases. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

in terms of blackberry usage ? or do want to know the pro and cons of using the DAMO(Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook) in gerneral?

The only benefit that DAMO is a non-technical one - that existing Outlook end-users do not have to go through another learning curve for learning how to use the Lotus Notes clients. Any product that goes through a middleware has its technical limitations - one thing for sure, some of the Notes clients features may not be fulfilled in Outlook.

See the list of problems presented LIVE to you in the Domino discusssion forum (search key = "DAMO"):-

Theoretically, if there is any limitations when processing messages sent from Outlook, then BlackBerry Enterprise Server may encounter similar issue too. So be prepared to see some abnormalities.
