Unfortunately, it is limiting in a corporate setting -- my IMAP/POP ports are blocked (using emacs for personal email is out), the admins have not enabled IMAP/POP on the company Lotus Notes Domino server (using emacs for work emails is out), and yes, no scheduling would work from emacs through Domino innards, probably. There is some hope: http://bit.ly/fEkWrN They've created a command line interface to Lotus Notes that works... but only 32bit (I have to chroot into a 32bit environment) and one would have to parse everything that came through to make it usable and also write elisp functions that sent Lotus Notes commands via the command line client. Anyway, I *love* the idea of doing this... but it's quite difficult when the "corporate world" is against you!
