Updating design of mail.box

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

My original mail.box was created in 1998.  Lotus was astounded that I was 
able to run this long without rebuilding it.
I noticed that when I opened it with an R5 client I could see stuck mail 
in it.  However I couldn't with an R6 client.  So I went through the drop 
server, rename, start server and let it rebuild automatically.  I noticed 
that it looks differently on the R5 client now.  (It's on an R5.0.12 
server.)  We figured it must have been an old R4 design.

Now I can see the contents in my R6 client.

I tried to do a copy/paste from the old mail.box to the new mail.box. 
YUCK! It changed the From address from the customer's name to my name.

Word of wise.  You might want to delete/rebuild your mail.box(es) after 
you upgrade your Domino releases.  Just make sure they are empty - with 
the older client - first.
