I have created a new replicas of user’s mail files on a different server. I noticed that the new relicas have all the mail missing out of the inbox. I go back to the original replca and the inbox mail is missing on those as well.
I have a lot that have this issue. What causes it and how do I fix??

Subject: new replica removes inbox mail - what’s the deal?
Hi,
I had the same problem, I supposed it happens when there is a conflict between the replication and the design task. For example, you create a new replica, the first step is to create a new replication stub (an empty db with the right properties), if the design task runs at this very moment, it will update the design of this empty db in using the name of the template in the properties, so create a “$Inbox” folder, the one which will be used by the display. When the replication occurs, it will create another “$Inbox” folder with the mails in it. It is the “push” mode, when the replication pulls the modifications from the new database, it will use the newly created “$Inbox” for the display. You can check it if you open you db with the designer, you should see two “$Inbox”.
If you don’t have too much dbs, you can manually remane the hidden “$Inbox” in the designer, then open the db with database/goto… to see your new folder (it will not appear if you open your db normaly because the left panel is hard coded) and copy/ paste the documents to the new Inbox, if you have a lot of DB, maybe you can create an agent to do that
Hope this helps
