’Unable to find path to server’ when trying to connect

  • 11 Jun, 2014

If you use IBM Notes and do not saw this error, don´t panic, soon or late you will see.

1. Create a new Location Document in the local names.nsf.
 This forces Notes to not use the cached “last known good address” which is kept even with a reboot.

2. Use a simple formula agent to clear the fields in the Location Document, as follows:

FIELD $SavedAddresses := "";
FIELD $SavedPorts := "";
FIELD $SavedServers := "";
FIELD $SavedDate := "";
FIELD $SavedTriedDate := "";

NOTE: For testing purposes, you can insert the following parameter in the notes.ini file: dont_use_remembered_addresses=1

This parameter is read by the Notes client ONLY during startup. Its purpose is to test server searches. The parameter does not clear the address cache and is not designed to do so. It causes Notes to not load remembered paths stored in the cache. Use this for testing purposes only since it is not a permanent solution to these errors.

The information is from TN 1100207

Migrating messages from Domino to Google using IMAP

  • 20 Feb, 2022

It's only for messages. No calendar migration Imapsync command is a tool allowing incremental and recursive imap transfers from one mailbox to another. If you don't understand the previous sentence, it's normal, it's pedantic computer-oriented jargon. All folders are transferred, recursively, meaning the whole folder hierarchy is taken, all messages in them, and all message flags (\Seen\Answered \Flagged etc.) are synced too. Imapsync reduces the amount of data transferred by not transferring a given message if it already resides on the destination side. Messages that are on the destination side but not on the source side stay as they are. Get the tool here  https://github.com/imapsyn

Today i setup a Domino V12 server just for test some new features. A customer ask to use photos on Verse hosting photos on Domino. Domino V12 comes with Verse 2.0.

Notes / Domino is forever

  • 04 Feb, 2021

Yesterday it seemed like it would be an ordinary working day but a client called me informing about the expiration of a certifier. It would be normal to resolve the problem with the re-certification procedures but it was a special certificate. This client has been using Notes/Domino since version 4.0.  When I saw the certificate creation date 05/09/1996 I was impressed. This customer uses the environment for mail and applications for 25 years!. How times flies I started working for this client in 1999 by installing the first R5 server (5.0.4) on an IBM Netfinity 5500 Server running Windows NT 4.0. The hardware is gone, the operating system and the administrators who created this certifer
