Notes 6, Mail rules, filter, weird behavior 1

[mcse924]

I have created simple rules in my Notes 6 client to automatically move certain emails to specific folder. The rules are as follows: If sender = X, then move to folder = Y.

The rules work fine, but when I try to view, edit, delete, etc these rules from my client, they are gone! Disappeared gone! And they still work, which means if I wanted to, I could not disable them, because I can't even see them!!

Weird Part #2 - We have a disaster recovery Notes mail server at another site which replicates with the mail server here. When I switch to my mail database there (we are connected by T1), wouldn't you know it, I can see ALL the rules I created on my production Notes Mail db.

THis is wacky!!! If anyone can explain, I'm all ears!!!

Hi

I think it is a problem with views and/or full-text-index.
You should run an updall on the server.
(load updall database.nsf -R -C)
This should rebuilt all view and the full-text-index in the database.

I tried both suggestions, they did not work. I have noticed when I look at Domino Administrator, and look at the files tab, see my database in the list, File Format shows "R5(41:0)". All other users are listed as "R6(43:0)".

I am running Note 6.01 client. What does file format mean? I have refreshed and replaced my database design to R6 standard several times, but I still cannot view previously created rules. What is up here?

Have you tried to open the mailbox with a webbrowser on the primary server?
if you can see the rules in the web-frontend, it could be a problem with your notes client. (e.g. caches etc)

Hi,

Try to delete the cache:

1. Delete the file cache.ndk from your Notes directory
2. Open the Workspace properties and set the cache for design elements to a low value, then compact teh workspace.
3. Close and re-open your Lotus Notes and see if the problem is solved or not.
