To use the mail conversion utility, the Domino server that hosts the mail files must already have been upgraded to Notes 8.5 as well as the Notes client. |
Upgrading a single mail database
This example finds the mail database USER.NSF in the \MAIL subdirectory of the Notes data directory. The mail conversion utility replaces the current mail template -- regardless of which template the mail file uses -- with MAIL85.NTF, the Notes 8.5 mail template.
...
* mail85.ntf template can be replaced by the template where LNC is installed.
Upgrading all mail databases in a directory
This example finds all databases located in the \MAIL subdirectory of the Notes data directory and replaces their design template with MAIL85.NTF, the Notes 8.5 mail template.
load convert mail\*.nsf * mail85.ntf |

Upgrading a set of mail databases
To update a set of mail files, first add the users mail file path to a text file and then update the design from the text file.
Creating a text file that lists all mail databases in a directory
Use the mail conversion utility to create a text file that lists all primary mail databases on the server (it does not list replica mail databases). This example creates a text file, MAILLIST.TXT, in the C:\TEMP directory. MAILLIST.TXT contains a list of primary mail databases on the server but excludes replica mail databases. After the text file is created using this option, use the file to upgrade the mail databases listed in it.
load convert -l c:\temp\maillist.txt |

Upgrading all mail databases listed in a text file
This example finds all databases listed in MAILLIST.TXT, determines whether the databases use a design template name that matches Mail*, (mail8.ntf for example), and replaces the designs of the matching databases with MAIL85.NTF), the Notes 8.5 mail template.
