Currently if someone wants to access their email through a PDA device, I have to run the conversion to IMAP enable their mail file. Any thoughts on just enabling IMAP for all mail files? Pros and cons appreciated.

1 Chris Whisonant Permalink How many mail files are we talking about? Of course you can just runload convert -e mail/*.nsf to do this, but I don't think
I would recommend it unless you start having a ton of people
needing this. There would be some more overhead to maintain the
IMAP fields on all of the mail files - this would likely be
significant overhead for all of the mail files! And if you have
clustering, the IMAP items don't replicate. So if you had some
corruption and needed to create a new replica from the
cluster-mate, this could cause some confusion from the IMAP client
on which items have been touched, etc...
2 Marie L Scott Trackback We run all files as IMAP enabled, as our users (60K+) may use the Notes client, IMAP or web at any given time. In our clustered environment this has not been an issue, and I'm not sure what items Chris is referring to in terms of not replicating within a cluster. I believe prior to 7.0.x that may have been an issue. Unread/Read marks replicate as do folder changes. There are nuances between IMAP clients in terms of folders vs. labels. You can enable this in your server configuration doc, IMAP tab, with Enable IMAP during Login. This will cause the IMAP convert to run the first time the database is accessed via IMAP, so no need to run the convert -e across the board.
