I am a fanatical filer and also I retain many many emails (as a consultant it is the only way I can keep every thing straight) so I have around 900 folders. I made a change to the default inbox folder and wanted that to populate out to the others, but the Upgrade Folder agent fails while collecting the list of folders. The error is:Notes Error: Adding entry will cause text list to exceed 64K. Entry not added.
And it just ends.
Any idea’s?
Subject: RE: Upgrade Folder Design fails - 64K limit problem
Unfortunately, this issue is caused by the use of AppendToTextList method to add keep the names of folders.
So, in a situation where there is just the right amount of folders, with the right amount of character lengths, then this error is sure to occur.
There is no good way to get around this other than to significantly reduce the number of folders and possibly the length of the names.

The technote has not been updated for a change in the R8.5.2 code.
To update it for R8.5.2 code the line that needs to be replaced is on line 72 not 61 and it no longer follows the “If (entry.document…” line

… have you heard of archiving? How many of those folders are empty?
Subject: I have advised the people who maintain the mail template of the problem…
… there’s a way to do what they’re doing without using a NotesDocument at all.
Subject: The amount of folders by itself can go further.
I had to fix a server caused by a mailfile where folder number 1250 (or something like that) of more than 1300 Folders would be corrupt. Mailfile is 10GByte fixed and still growing…
