Here is a brief introduction to Lotus Notes from Wikipedia:
Lotus Notes is a proprietary, client-server collaborative software and email system owned by Lotus Software, of the IBM Software Group.
When Lotus Notes was initially released, it was simply called "Notes" (the name having been taken from PLATO Notes, the mainframe-based software that preceded it.) A Notes client ran on a workstation, and a Notes server ran on a server. Around the time of version 4.5, the monikers changed: the client is still called "Notes", while the server component is now known as "Domino". One may frequently see the terms used interchangeably.
The server runs on several platforms, including Windows NT, Windows 2000, Linux, HP-UX, Sun Solaris, IBM iSeries, pSeries, and zSeries. The native client runs on all versions of Windows and MacOS 9.0 and X. Domino servers can also translate most databases in to HTML for browser based users.
In the past Notes had been criticized for being 'clunky', some icons and terms are not 'standardised' - however with release 6 and 6.5 of the Notes client, email users now have access to many productivity tools.
