MAIL

Excluding a mail file from using shared mail
By default, after you enable shared mail on a server, all mail files on the server use shared mail for new mail. You can disconnect specific mail files from shared mail if you want their owners to use standard, message-based mail, and you can reconnect previously disconnected mail files to shared mail.

To determine which mail files use shared mail

If a server contains a mix of some mail files that use shared mail and some that do not, you can display a list of all mail files that use shared mail. Enter this command at the console:


For example, to determine the shared mail use of all mail files in a directory, enter:
For each mail database in the directory, the results indicate whether the mail file is set to use shared mail and currently has links to messages shared in any shared mail databases:
To exclude a mail file from using shared mail

Enter this command at the console:


where USERMAIL.NSF is the full path for a mail file or a directory that contains mail files.

To include a previously excluded mail file

If you previously excluded a mail file from shared mail and then want it to use shared mail again, you can re-enable the mail file to use shared mail for new messages. The process has no effect on existing messages. Enter this command at the console:


where USERMAIL.NSF is the full path for a mail file or a directory that contains mail files.

For example:


resets all mail files in the MAIL directory that were previously excluded from using shared mail so they use the object store for new mail.
