MAIL


Running Compact to update the ODS version of a mail file
To be enabled for IMAP, a mail file must use the Domino Release 5 or later file format, Notes ODS (on-disk structure) version 41 or greater. If a mail file is at a previous ODS version, you must run Compact on it to update the ODS version. It is not necessary to run Compact to enable newly mail files that are based on either the MAIL6.NTF or MAIL50.NTF mail templates.

The ODS version of a mail file database is listed on the Info tab of the Database properties dialog box. For more information, see the topic "Determining the file format of a database."
