My idea

 Our company has purchased a couple of other companies recently.  I know that we could consolidate all our mail infrastrcuture into one and let the existing users keep their existing internet e-mail address (different domains).  The problem I have is that we have some users who have "personas" in each domain.  Current;y, since we haven't integrated, this means they have multiple e-mail clients (Notes & Outlook) going against the proper back-end (Domino & Exchange).  If we consolidate, I don't have any easy way for this person to have one mailbox, but 2 different outgoing internet e-mail addresses.  It would be nice that if a message came into john@companyA.com, his reply would go out as john@companyA.com and a message to john@comapnyB.com would respond from john@companyB.com. With the amount or mergers & acquisitions going on, I would think this would be something alot of people would like IBM/Lotus to address.
