In Notes, there may be certain folders and or hidden folders you may not want to migrate to the target mailboxes and filter out upon migration.
If using the Migrator for Notes to Exchange (MNE) Migration Manager, navigate to the menu button in the upper-right (three lines) and select Edit Global Default Settings.
If using the Self-Service Desktop Migrator, open the notesdtapp.ini file.
Within the [Filters] section of the .ini file each line specifies a folder, by name, to be excluded from the migration.
Upon installation, the INI file contains these Filter[#] parameters by default:
[Filters]
filter0=($Alarms)
filter1=(Group Calendars)
filter2=(Rules)
filter3=($Design)
filter4=Alarms
filter5=(CalSummary)
filter6=(~MAPISP(Internal))
filter7=(IPMCOMMONVIEWS)
filter8=(IPMVIEWS)
filter9=(Search Root)
filter10=($MAPIInbox)
filter11=($MAPIInfo)
filter12=($MAPIIPM Subtree)
filter13=($MAPIOutbox)
filter14=($MAPISent)
filter15=($MAPITrash)
filter16=(Discussion Threads)
filter17=($ToDo)
filter18=($FolderInfo)
filter19=($POP3)
filter20=(To do's\By Category)
filter21=(To do's\By Status)
filter22=(Mail Threads)
filter23=($FolderAllInfo)
You can add to this list to define more folders to be excluded, but note that the digits appended to the parameter key names must appear in numerical order and must form an uninterrupted numerical sequence. For example, if there is a folder called 'MP3s' (without the single quotes), the addition of a 'filter24=' to the above list would look like the following:
[Filters]
filter0=($Alarms)
filter1=(Group Calendars)
filter2=(Rules)
filter3=($Design)
filter4=Alarms
filter5=(CalSummary)
filter6=(~MAPISP(Internal))
filter7=(IPMCOMMONVIEWS)
filter8=(IPMVIEWS)
filter9=(Search Root)
filter10=($MAPIInbox)
filter11=($MAPIInfo)
filter12=($MAPIIPM Subtree)
filter13=($MAPIOutbox)
filter14=($MAPISent)
filter15=($MAPITrash)
filter16=(Discussion Threads)
filter17=($ToDo)
filter18=($FolderInfo)
filter19=($POP3)
filter20=(To do's\By Category)
filter21=(To do's\By Status)
filter22=(Mail Threads)
filter23=($FolderAllInfo)
filter24=MP3s
In addition, there are some more system folders that might need to be excluded. See the Attached file for more folder names.
It may be necessary to add variation of the folder name to the filter, such as
=MAPIUseContacts
=$MAPIUseContacts
=($MAPIUseContacts)
=(MAPIUseContacts)
in order for the filter to be successful.
In some circumstances, there may be a "root" folder that needs to be filtered out of the migration, including any subfolders. An Enhancement Request, TFS 723720, has been entered for this scenario and will be considered for inclusion in a future version of MNE.
