Connecting Lotus Notes to Thunderbird

Question

Is there a way to connect Lotus Notes to Thunderbird?

My company uses Lotus Notes as one of the email clients. I'd prefer using Thunderbird because it's free and also because I find it more intuitive. I looked online and on forums, but didn't manage finding a way to connect Lotus Notes to Thunderbird.

Want on Thunderbird:

1. to be able to send and receive emails
2. receive calender events
3. absolutely very little need to open Lotus Notes

Is this even possible? Thanks!

Solution

Notes supports IMAP service.

Thunderbird is an IMAP client.

So yes it is possible. Contact your Notes admin for details of the IMAP service (hostname, port, login credentials).
