Newer template on older server

I’ve upgraded one of my Domino mail servers from 8.5.3FP3 to 9.0IFR4.

I am thinking about upgrading my mail template to 9. However I have several replicas on other 8.5.3FP3 servers and I don’t want to upgrade those servers to 9 right away. If I apply the template can I still open and use my mail files on those other servers?

Subject: Yes - newer template on older server will work just fine (eom)

Hi Rob,

That should be fine, I was running Notes 9 with Domino 8.5.3 and the mail 9 template for several months without issue, you can always go back to the 8.5.3 template if you do.
