About this task

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.
