Archive Disappears

Hello,

I have a lotus notes 8 client. I used to archive to a file (which is over 5GB now) and suddenly I find that all my archive emails have started disappearing from the 31st of July. Any mail I archived before that is available. I have no clue why this is happening and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Subject: new file?

My first thought is that perhaps your archive settings changed, and your newly archived messages are going to a different archive file than the old ones. When you look for them, you’re checking the old file, thus not seeing them.

It’s an easy thought to test:

  1. Archive something and go look for it right away. Is it there and then disappears later, or is it not there to being with?

  2. Check the File>Application>Properties>Filename of your archive. Then go into Actions>Archive>Settings and look at the filename for the archive settings you’re using. Do they match exactly?
