MAIL AND ADDRESS BOOK

Upgrading the design of your mail folders
Depending on settings controlled by your administrator, it is possible that Notes upgraded your mail file design to include the latest design for Notes folders such as Inbox and Trash, but not for folders you have created. If the design of your mail file has been replaced with the design in the MAIL6.NTF or later template, you can use the Upgrade Folder Design command to upgrade the design of your shared or private folders. Either use Automatic Upgrade to upgrade all of your folders to the latest version of the design used to create them, or use Manual Upgrade to manually select the folders to upgrade and the designs to use.

When you upgrade folders manually, you can base the design of the selected folder or folders on any of these standard folders: Inbox, Alarms, Trash, Rules, Calendar, or All Documents. Each folder in the list displays the name of the folder it's already based on, so you can decide whether it needs upgrading. Upgrading manually is not as fast as upgrading automatically, so be sure to set aside a little time for it.

Note With Automatic Upgrade, folders created in Notes Release 5 or earlier are upgraded to the default folder design, which is Inbox. Manual Upgrade is recommended if you have customized folders or folders created in Notes Release 5 or earlier.
