Description

MailFile holds the path / name of the Notes user's mail file (relative to the mail server's data directory, without the .nsf extension). When the mail is opened, this file is loaded from the server stored in MailServer.

Example configuration

MailFile=mail\mdillmann

Notes & pitfalls

  • Do not include the .nsf file extension.
  • The path is case-sensitive on UNIX / Linux Domino servers.
  • Usually set via the Person document or policies – a manual entry in notes.ini is typically only useful for diagnostics or repairs.
  • When moving a mail file to a new server, MailServer and MailFile must match each other.
