Hi,Does anyone has any idea how to change the ods of the mail.boxES?

Subject: Let them be recreated

I would try to let the system create new ones:

  • quit smtp

  • let all mails be delivered (mail.box(es) should be empty)

  • quit router

  • dbcache flush (perhaps 2x)

  • move mail.box(es) out of the data directory

  • load router

  • load smtp

→ the mail.box(es) should be created by the router if the file(s) are missing.

Greetings

Markus

Then with Domino Server down just do

[n]compact -c mail.box

[n]compact -c mail1.box

[n]compact -c mail2.box

for as many mail boxes as you have… Then restart Domino… should be pretty quick…

Subject: Don’t try to move mailboxes out of data directory with the server running

mail.box databases are kept open at all times by the server, so be sure the server is shut down before attempting to move/delete/rename any of the mail.box databases.

John’s suggestion of compacting the databases will work, but also note that the server will automatically upgrade mail.box databases to the latest allowed ODS on server startup so if you’ve enabled CREATE_R85_DATATASES=1 in notes.ini, the databases should be upgraded to the latest ODS the next time the server is restarted.
