Unhappy

mingswitch,
I went so far as to set the error threshold registry key to zero (i.e. no limit) found here in bug report 17629. You might want to give that a try.

After four attempts I abandoned the migration agent route... We use r5 right now in production, but I also copied my data to a test box and upgraded to the latest r6.5 gold release. No better there.

All I can tell from domino's debugging is that the lotus rtf format does not get processed properly on some mail and that’s why the imports errors. It was frustrating as I found that more than 50% of my messages were empty or the attachments were mangled and unusable.

What finally worked for me was to use thunderbird as an IMAP client to copy from the domino server to the zimbra server directly. It was very slow and painful, but it did get the messages across intact. What was the most painful was that the zimbra IMAP connection would randomly hang and I would have to force quit thunderbird and reconnect. So I would not recommend that for large migrations.

In the end it really does not matter that much... I don't have a large user base to migrate so I can use the IMAP method... but I would hate to stuck doing IMAP for any large group of users.

Its really sad... I am moving away from notes simply because IBM has not looked into integration of iCal and Address Book on the mac platform into notes... That was a real usability pain for me, as I simply could not keep any calendar or contact data in notes. I still like a lot of the notes design concepts and reliability better, but IBM has not yet brought notes in the 21st century. ‘Tis a shame.

-Cheers, Peter.

P.S. *cough, cough* Notes does make PPC binaries available. *hint, hint!*
