Running Fixup to Repair corruption on a Domino Mailbox

A single or a few Domino mailboxes are having difficulty migrating. Is there a utility that can be run to scan these mailboxes for corruption?.

There are a number of commands included with Domino Server that can be run against a Notes Mailbox Database file to detect and repair corruption. For more information, please refer to the IBM Database Corruption Troubleshooting Guide.

Please contact IBM for further assistance.

Important!: We recommend that a full backup of the mail files is taken before any repair takes. 

Mail corruption may also happen because of network problems. During the transmittal of a mail message, network problems may cause corrupted packets of information, which in turn may corrupt the mail database. If you repeatedly have problems with corruption and are unable to find anything wrong with the Domino server environment, begin investigating potential network problems, such as malfunctioning network cards or buggy network drivers. Server problems, such as low memory or the server running out of memory during mail transmittal, may also cause corruption.
