Procedure
Disabling an IMAP mail file
About this task
If you need to disable IMAP-specific features in a mail
file, run the mail conversion utility with the -e-
option
file. The following example removes the IMAP capability of the mail
database USER.NSF in the \MAIL subdirectory
of the Notes® data directory:
load convert -e- mail\user.nsf
Note: On UNIX™ systems,
use a forward slash (/) as the hierarchy separator, rather than a
backslash (\). For example, enter:
load convert -e- mail/user.nsf
