For the past several weeks, I have noticed some strange things going on with some of our users’ calendars.
When a newly upgraded user tries to accept meeting invites from other users, they get a box with a “double book” title and a message that says “This action is not allowed on mail messages”, and a NotesUIDocument:Save Cancelled error after they click OK. The users who are sending invitations to these users use both R5 and N6 clients and mail files.
I have tried to replace the mail template of the affected users, and I have also done a “load convert” from the console, but still no good.
The only thing I have found that works is if I completely re-create the mail file from scratch. Interestingly, the only users that seem to have this problem are users who have been here since we had Notes 4.5 and 4.6. These are mail files that have been upgraded to R5, and then finally to N6.
Has anyone experienced this behavior? If so, were you able to find anything out about why it happens?

Hi, Ben.
Interestingly, I found that there were certain design elements that were being prohibited from refreshing, but I set it so that they would refresh, and then I replaced the design of the database again, but the problem still happened. I eventually just started from scratch and copied all documents into a new mail file (real pain). Fortunately, there haven’t been many other mail files with this problem.

Weirder still! An old trick for us with problematic designs – I don’t knw how relevant it is with ND6 – was to replace a database’s design with a completely unrelated template, then replace again with the required template (mail or whatever).
The reason for doing this was to avoid odd “time stamp” problems occurring in some refreshes whereby design elements that should have been updating weren’t.

A slightly updated version of that trick is to use a blank template (ie one with no design elements except the default view) for the initial design replace, thus ensuring that you completely clear out all of the original design elements, and don’t introduce any problems with other design elements.
