When I upgrade the R5.0.13 clients to R6.0.1, the mail design is still of R5 and I need to upgrade the mail design manually. Now I am going to upgrade R6.0 Domino Messaging Server to R6.0.1. Do I need to do something so that all templates are upgraded to the latest design without manual upgrade separately?
Thanks,
Ray

UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 6 AND LOTUS DOMINO 6
Using seamless mail upgrade
Seamless mail upgrade automatically upgrades mail file templates after users upgrade their Lotus Notes clients to Notes 6. When users first start the Lotus Notes client after upgrading, Lotus Notes begins upgrading the design of local databases like the Personal Address Book. At this time, the client also sends a call to the users’ home server to upgrade the mail file template.
The server looks for an assigned Desktop policy settings document or Setup Profile document for the users. If one is found and the Mail Template Information section is complete, then seamless mail upgrade starts the mail conversion utility to upgrade the template
