i have some corrupted mail databases, which i am unable to refresh\replace the design on. i am getting an “invalid or nonexsistent document” error message. is there a straight forward way to strip ALL design elements from a database, and re-apply them ? thanks.

I’m not sure if it will work on a corrupted NSF, but to remove design elements, start with an empty template and replace the design of a database with that template.

- caution- replacing the design with the blank template will result in the loss of the contents of the inbox folder when the mail design is re-applied. The in box contents will still be available in all documents view, but the contents of the in box folder will not be rebuilt when the mail template is re-applied

Whenever I get this I typically do the following:
updall -R mail\file.nsf
fixup -F mail\file.nsf
compact -c mail\file.nsf
Typically that fixes it.
Good luck!
