Unread Archive messages?

Need your opinion/comment on the following..

Messages that were already READ show up UNREAD once they are archived.

What is the reason for this?  Is there way so that when they get archived, they show READ instead of UNREAD. 

Since I'm using same Notes ID to accessing my own archive database, you would think unread marks are supported in Archive.

Thanks in advance..

unread table only maintained across replicas...
Every mail db has an unread table, which stores the read/unread documents for each user that accesses the database. This unread table is replicated to other replicas of the mail database. However, the archive database is not a replica but a copy of the mail database. Messages are copied from the mail database to the archive database, new document ID's etc are generated for these copied messages. Hence, even if the unread table was copied (which it is not), it would no longer apply as the documents do not preserve the Doc ID when copied to a different mail database (in this case, archive database).

Unfortunately, this is working as designed and there are no workarounds, each database will have their own read/unread table.

Hope this helps explain why this is occurring. Thank you!

Yes but...

If you archive from the menu Archive\Archive Selected Documents the marks get honored; the read stay read and the unread stay unread.

That's not cool.

archive task could

The archive task could read the unread table and populate the unread table in the target database.

Since unread marks are stored in the database by user, this should be easy to get, since the user name would be in the profile of the database.

   or it could just move all users unread marks over.
