Incoming Mail not delivered to mail dbs

Hello all,Weird problem this one. Yesterday, in an attempt to correct for daylight savings here in Australia, one of our administrators switched our Domino server forward by 20 hours in error. We discovered the problem about an hour later and switched back.

Unfortunately now those of us who received emails during the “future” time, have not received any emails that arrived between the change and just after the 20 hour mark. Emails coming in post that time (9am here) are coming in fine.

We know the emails arrived here ok by checking the messaging logs, and they said the mailed were delivered to the user, but they’re nowhere in the database to be found. We’ve refreshed designs and run fixup.

Any other ideas as to how to get these emails out of wherever they are lurking?

Thanks and regards,

Peter

Try updall, and specifically rebuild the All Documents view in the mail file. I wouldn’t really expect them to appear in the Inbox.

If that doesn’t make them appear, try making a copy (local or server) and again check the All docs view.

Hope you find them - pesky little blighters!!

Thanks Kirsty, but no joy.We tried all of that and the mails just seem to have disappeared.

As a last resort I’ve asked the question of the tech support guys at IBM, but I’m a little doubtful they’ll even understand the question, much less provide any answer.

If I find anything interesting I’ll post it back here.

Thanks again,

Peter
