Shared Mail Problem

[macro432]

Hi all,

Shared mail was accidentally enabled when I used the command 'tell router update config' (yes, it's an undocumented feature of R5). To disable it I did the following.

1. changed the ini setting to shared_mail=0 (and restarted)
2. entered 'load object set -never config.nsf' (config.nsf is the shared mail file)
3. entered 'load object unlink mail' (where mail is the directory containing all mail files)

It goes through the motions, but doesn;t seem to unlink messages and deliver them to the mail files themselves. I get the following..

Object Store Manager: 0 of 13404 notes processed

and so on.

Users are unable to opne any emails with attachments that were sent during the time shared mail was active.

What do I do???

I would take one DB, run Updall, Fixup, and test after each. I would then convert the DB (lo convert) using the correct template (test again). Possibly even make a new copy and test offline. Never ran into your issue before, so I hope this helps.

Rgds,

John
