MAIL

How the conversion utility handles unread marks
In previous versions of Notes and Domino, mail files maintained separate sets of unread marks for IMAP clients and Notes clients, with IMAP-enabled mail files relying on special template views to indicate that a message was read. With the introduction of native IMAP in Domino Release 6, a mail file enabled for IMAP displays a consistent set of unread marks to the IMAP and Notes clients opening the file.

If you used IMAP in an earlier release of Domino, and are upgrading a mail file to Domino Release 6 IMAP format, the conversion utility will mark a message as read in the converted mail file if either the IMAP or Notes items in the unconverted mail file indicate that the message was read.
