What is the best way to import emails from a maildatabase to another?

I have a MyContacts database. I want to do the following:

  • Select a contact from this database

  • Click a button which opens my mailfile

  • I select an email

  • Click ok and teh email is attached as a responde doc to the selected contact in the MyContacts database

I looked for a kind of template, but no success. Can this be done using lotusscript?

Any sugegstions will be appreciated!

Thanks

Mark.

Subject: Import mail - any suggestions?

If you’re the manager (or at least designer) of both databases, you can do this. Rather than opening your mail file completely, I’d suggest this:

Select contact in MyContacts.

Click an action button, which opens a picklist of your inbox.

Have the picklist return the UNID of the selected document, then do a db.getdocumentbyunid and copy the document to the MyContacts database, using MakeResponse to make it a response to the selected contact.
