As long as it's not my job to wade through it all....
Is Chess.com Allowed to Read Our Messages

I've been a user of both Lotus and Exchange. from a user's standpoint there's no comparison. Exchange is by far the superior platform.
As administration goes, the guys who administer Exchange (and more recently Office 365) work for me -- I've never had to administer it myself.
My sympathies. Managing sysadmins is something I would not wish on anybody :)...

@TheGrobe: oh yeah, heard it before that people found Exchange much better to work with. It is much more intuitive indeed, but technically? Exactly the other way around.
Way back we had for instance an old laptop to serve 600 Lotus Notes accounts (and a lot of applications within Lotus Notes), where the other half of the company needed three full fledged dedicated mailservers.

If they are, at what times, or just whenever they like? Also, can they tell other people about someone else's messages? Just curious
If you had read the TOS when you signed up, you would know the answer.

chessdex, what the hell are you talking about? Admins don't go around reading random peoples messages let alone telling others about members about the content of the messages for no reason. Don't you think that they have better things to do with their time?
Honestly...

Enter the matrix?
Reading other people's messages.... who the heck would want that slimey job?
Lots of sockpuppets here :). Then their conspiracy theories could finally be confirmed...
