"[O]riginally an email server" gets it rather backwards. It was more like a BBS/forum hosting platform that had messaging between boards (databases), with user email as a special case.

Notes for email / groupware was a common implementation, and it was more capable than alternatives like Exchange, Novell Groupware, because of the application building abilities of Notes.
