Cannot update ODS for mail.box

Trying to update from ODS 43 to 51 for DAOS worked fine on the mail files but fails on the mail1.box and mail2.box. I tried doing tell router quit first but it still says its in use. Is there anything else I need to do?

Commands I tried and errors:

load compact -c mail1.box

Error compacting mail2.box: Database is currently in use by you or another user

load compact -L mail1.box

Compaction failed: Unable to delete d:\lotus\domino\data\mail2.box: The database is in use and cannot be taken off-line.

Error compacting mail2.box: The database is in use and cannot be taken off-line.

In order to complete the ODS upgrade for mail.box, you will need to perform the operation while the Domino server is down.

If you are considering the use of DAOS, it is a best practice to enable the feature for mail.box as well. It is recommendable to upgrade mailbox.ntf to ODS 51 and enable DAOS on the template so that the feature is enabled when new mail.box(es) are created.
