One of my users lost all their folders during an R5 to R6 upgrade. I have a recent backup of the R5 folder structure, however I cannot figure out how to restore the folder structure to the live R6 mailfile.I have found a few posts in this forum regarding the subject, but I cannot find specifically how to restore the folder structure…
Does anyone have any ideas please? I really don’t want to have to manually resort 1.5Gb worth of mail into folders!
Thanks all, sorry if I am asking a question which has been answered already

Almost all of the 1.5 GB should remain archived. No one can have a genuine need for such a large amount of data to remain current. It indicates that this user is working very ineffeciently. Perhaps others in your organization are too. The cost to your organization is not in IT – the storage costs are trivial. The cost is in the time that people waste throughout the organization, when they communicate in inefficient ways.For archived data, folders are not usually much use. It is almost always quicker and more reliable to find specific documents by searching.
It is possible to write Lotusscript code to create new folders and put the documents in them. The code can look at all the folders in the old database, and identify the documents there by universal ID. Then it can find the same documents in the new database, and put them in the right folders…
