Hey Guys, i am reasonably new to Lotus Notes.
I was just wondering if it is possible to use a lotus notes R6 mail file in lotus notes R5.
If so, is there any converting that needs to take place and how would this be done.
Just not sure on this one
Thanks a lot

I assume you’re talking about using the Notes 5 client. I’m pretty certain this would not work at all well. When there’s a new major release of the client, they tend to update the mail file design to make use of the new features. Obviously the R5 client is not necessarily going to understand those.

No, and the “conversion” is well beyond most “experts”. Replace the mail database design with an R5 mail template, and disable the Design task for that database by going to the Design tab in the database properties (the one with the triangle and T-square on it), and uncheck the box that says “Inherit design from master template”.
