And I am SOOO glad not to be using any Notes email these days and I would file it under "good news" if I heard that the last Notes email servers had been extinguished.
But I still want to know if this affects me. The only link I might have is via outlook.com, though I barely use it. Basically pushed that way by Microsoft for their own convenience, though I responded by renaming that user "Awk Q Punt" some years ago. But Mr Punt may not be so easily amused if that account

But Mr Punt may not be so easily amused if that account is actually running on an Exchange server at the other end...
I remember a time when I had multiple Notes accounts, Multiple self hosted Exchange accounts and multiple unix mail accounts. It wasn't good.
I think this applies more to people hosting their own Exchange servers (with little or no IT support, or knowedge) and outlook.com may be getting hammered by attempts, but I would hope they have some good security, because if outlook.com becomes compromised, it would be very, very bad for Microsoft.

In a couple days, every Exchange server in the world will be hosed.
So, good news.

My condolences for your bad memories and I hope you're right about outlook.com.
