HTML mail with MIME pictures are displayed correctly. Draft synchronization is enabled.

HTML mail with MIME pictures are displayed correctly. Draft synchronization is enabled. Previously, users were not able to synchronize draft emails created and saved in Lotus Notes to the mobile device and in the opposite direction. This simply was not supported. After we switched to the Verse app, users appreciated this synchronization function. They can use already saved drafts from Lotus Notes and later process the email operation from a mobile device.

Whiteboard and content sharing features are good

I would rate Teams's stability as a nine out of ten. However, some recent updates have made it less stable. I find it a little bit choppy. Sometimes, I find the network quality is not very good with low bandwidth. So, sometimes, when you have low bandwidth the quality becomes very poor. So, you have to optimize your usage.
