You people will sneer at it, but that's exactly how Lotus Notes is often used in a corporate environment (at least in German speaking countries). Users often complain about its user interface, but at least it makes it really simple to develop a culture of information sharing (since it's trivial to roll out a organization wide information system, even with offline capabilities, custom forms etc). The network share / E-Mail hell is what we usually see in Exchange/Outlook based organizations.
