CONFIGURING
If an IMAP-enabled mail file becomes corrupted, you can repair it by performing a set of tasks.
About this task
To repair a corrupted IMAP mail file, perform these tasks:
1. Run Fixup.
2. Disable the mail file for IMAP use.
3. Re-enable mail file for IMAP use.
If you are unable to repair the mail file, contact Support for assistance.
To repair a corrupted IMAP mail file, the Fixup task requires exclusive access to the mail file database.
Procedure
1. Shut down the server.
2. From a command prompt, change to the Domino® program directory. For example, if you installed Domino in the default location, enter: .
Note: If transaction logging is on, run Fixup with the -j switch, for example:
nFixup -j mail\user.nsf
If you need to disable IMAP-specific features in a mail file, run the mail conversion utility with the -e- option file. The following example removes the IMAP capability of the mail database USER.NSF in the \MAIL subdirectory of the Notes® data directory:
load convert -e- mail\user.nsf
Note: On UNIX™ systems, use a forward slash (/) as the hierarchy separator, rather than a backslash (\). For example, enter:
load convert -e- mail/user.nsf
What to do next
After disabling the mail file, you can re-enable it. For more information on enabling a mail file, see Running the mail conversion utility to enable a mail file for IMAP in the related information.
