Incoming unread mail shown as read.

Anybody can help me?

Whenever I receive a new mail, it won't shown as unread mail with red color font and a 'red star' on each unread mail, it just shown as normal after read mail in blank color font. I found this problem since in the morning after back from weekend holidays. I didn't change any setting and my lotus notes works fine last week. I tried several way to identify this problem but work suck!

Anybody can help me?

Thanks!

Check your database properties..Advanced section. Admin would have enabled Don't maintain Unread marks.. If this is checked then you will not see any unread marks on the doc.

Hi all,
Sorry for my damn late reply, I was busy with my other job recently, nearly forget this open question.

To madheeswar and sjef_bosman, be frankly, my company server time was changed accidentally few days ago and cause a lot of application went incorrectly, I believe this is the reason why lotus note goes wrong recently, few of my users report different kind of problems, some of them can't even delete the mail in their inbox, when press delete, it prompts that the mail has been deleted! (But the mail still appears in their inbox)

Hi, HemanthaKumar, thanks for your posting, I checked already and that option is checked.

Please let me confirm all my users turn back to usual, I will finalize this question by this week, thanks!!

Have a nice weekend ya! =)

Best regards,
Andy`


well that explains why you are not seeing any unread flags
So, I am the winner for this question.

Please accept this as answer and Grade with "A".
Hi guys here,

I still couldn't solve my problem, I try to replicate user email database but it doesn't run, there is an error msg shows in the replication page :

"None of the selected databases has a replica on the server
Failed with <SERVER NAME>: <time> today.
*where <> is my particular information.

I believe it happens because lotus note can't found any user mail database in my server, but I didn't do anything including delete, change, rename on my server. I try to replicate database from my HQ and I only can receive new incoming unread mail, no old mail at all.

Please help me to find out the problem, I'm so new to Lotus Note, and busy with other project recently, Thank you.

*Please note that extra point has been added to this new question.

Best regards,

Haha, well, madheeswar, you are damn fast to reply my question!!

For my new question above, I did the Local server database replication before (as local replication is my default email replication) but still the same problem.

Any idea?

WangWang,
what is the exact problem?

From menu Enable: View->Stackreplica icons

Now replicate and tell me the entire error and steps u created replica

And check replica history from menu.
Hi madheeswar,

Well, below is how i replicate database:
1) File> Database> Open...> Choose Local database   (Open local database)
2) File> Replication> Replicate... > Replicate via background replicator     (Replicate the database)
*there is an error:
"None of the selected databases has a replica on the server
Failed with <SERVER NAME>: <time> today."

3) Thus, I open database from my HQ as: File> Database> Open...> Choose HQ site database
4) It then can open database from my HQ, can see my new unread mail, but can't see old mail, some more when I close lotus note, reopen again, all mail gone! I have to reopen database from my HQ again!!

here i have a small question. I found that my local database name is same with HQ database name, but the "Replica ID" is different! is this the reason I can't replicate? and how to make it same? recreate a new database? or..?

*I don't have any administrator right here, just as a normal user.

Thank you.

See ur doing a mistake.
Initially you are doing local to local. Adn u got error.

So, when u accessed HQ, it did not had problem.

So, follow my steps and access HQ as the server and create a new replica and replicate.

This will solve your problem.

DONE!! I make it successfully, you have the point! =)
