That's good to know Chad and puts my mind at ease somewhat.  Do you think that having a group mailbox as a mail-in type application will work ok?  I do have three of these types of applications that would be just the ticket I'm looking for.  As for using the template I located for this, I do not know the first thing about editing code with Designer in order to get the new mail notification to work but I can certainly break it without much effort I'm sure....
 

I'm guessing this handles the notification of new email from reading up on it at optnntf.  It generates an error when it is enabled but the error is only visible on the server console and in the logs.  I haven't had much luck in getting the notification functionality to work within anything created using a mail-in document - group calendars for instance.  Even if I go the traditional route of delegating access to a calendar / email account, the notifications do not show up on any of the clients that use them.

We use the template for mail in db's.

We have cleaned out templates also (less preferences), just for use as mail inbox for a project, or another one to use as project mail inbox with mail rules, .....

From what I have noticed :

- The new mail reminder works as expected when new mail arrives in the inbox (we use it in some of them)

    Under Mailbox preferences you have the tab new mail reminder, where you can set the people who need to receive (and other things) and the button to enable the feature

- The mails sent from the mailbox if configured correctly carry a mail address of choice (best to use the one from the mailbox)

   Under Mailbox preferences you have the tab advanced, here you can set the mail address for example

Don't have used or saw the empty trash feature, but the default in db props stands at 336 hours :-) to empty trash, as for a standard mail file it stands at 48 hours.

Hi Peter,

For your group mailbox, are you using the Domino Mail(9) template to create your new database and then a mail-in document based upon the newly create mail database?  I considered that route but I understood you would get all the calendar and to-do stuff as well???

Nope we use "TeamMailBox326.ntf" from OpenNTF.

Like I said, we made some adjustments to the colors, and the visible preferences and all items work as expected also the new mail reminder once enabled.

FYI

We create 1 mailbox per project (if it gets to big (+50Gb) we create a second one and point the "Mail-In database entry" to the new one.

We have had so far 1 project that needed more than 1 db, so for that project we have mailbox 2009-2011, mailbox 2012-2014 and mailbox 2015- (where mailbox is the projectnr)

Oops 2 reply's at once - strange

Hi Peter,

I started using that again since I too didn't get anywhere with an IBM PMR but I cannot get the new mail notification to work.  I have it turned on within the mailbox settings but this is the error that is generated when new mail is delivered:  "Agent Manager:  Error in Agent 'New Mail Reminder TeamMailboxReminder' in database 'mail\mailbox.nsf' signed by 'my name/domain' calling script library 'TeamMailboxReminderLibrary'.  Script library signature is corrupted.

AMgr: Agent ('New Mail Reminder TeamMailboxReminder" in 'mail\mailbox.nsf') error message: Error loading USE or USELSX module: TeamMailboxReminderLibrary

I don't have the first inkling where to start sniffing around with Designer even though I found the code snippet for the new mail notification.  Any ideas?

yeah, that was my mistake.. i didn't sign the template before creating the database.  i did sign both the template and the database and the error has disappeared.  Because I didn't sign the template before creating the database, will I need to remove the database and the mail-in document then re-create it for the notification to work?

Is all good now.  Once I signed the document, notification email is being sent to the designated users although it seems the frequency of the notifications take a while.  When email arrives in a users mailbox, the notification happens within a minute but when email arrives into the mail-in database, it takes anywhere from within a minute to 15 minutes.  Haven't found that setting yet.
