I have successfully installed MS connector to allow ne to use Lotus notes via MS outlook 2002 and sync with my Ipac PDA.
The problem is my email FROM address is coming up as the full lotus notes name not nortont@rexel.com.au (Tim_Norton/SA/AUSTRALIA/REXEL%REXELAUSTRALIA@rexel.com.au).
I am finding many email servers will not accept the email when addressed like this but cant seem to change it.
I also as a less significant issue find that the PDA does not sync as well as it did when I was notusing MS Connector

I feel your pain....
I ran the 2002 Notes Connector for about 3 weeks before I gave up on it.
I also saw how e-mail addresses would resolve to the whole Domino LDAP name structure (username/CONTAINER/CONTAINER/CONTAINER/DOMAIN). I saw my own doing that, and other addresses I was sending to do the same thing. Now, I did not have any complaints of sending external e-mails with my full Domino address.
There is no configuration of the Connector, so I do not have a good suggestion for you on your problem. The only thing I can of is check your entry in the Names & Address Book on your Domino mail server (if you have Admin rights to it). I would look on the Mail tab, the Internet Address field. See if that is nortont@rexel.com.au or not. TheConnector just pulls all of this info, so the fix should be in Domino, no the Connector.

I personally don't think the Connector is ready for use yet. Have you noticed the heavy CPU usage when the Connector is checking for mail? I have a 500MHZ PII, with 256MG RAM, and every time Outlook used the Connector to check for mail, my entire workstation SLOWED to a crawl for about 30 seconds!

My PDA worked, though, except for the times when I tried to sync it WHILE it was getting mail off the Domino server (due to the whole CPU heavy usage).

Good luck.
