Setting the maximum number of articles to replicate (R5.0.2)

The default behavior of NNTP/IMAP replication is to replicate every article/message in all selected newsgroups/folders. Beginning in 5.0.2 you can now limit the number of messages to be retrieved by editing the NNTP/IMAP account document located in your personal Name and Address book (NAB). Before you can do this you will have to refresh the design of your address book using the 5.0.2 version of the pernames.ntf template. To do this:

Open your local NAB
Choose File->Database->Refresh Design (or you can use Replace Design, but please consult manual/online help, or your administrator, if unsure of the differences between the two.)

To set a value for the maximum number of articles to download during NNTP/IMAP replication:

Edit an existing internet account document (Open local NAB, select View->Advanced->Accounts)
Go to the Advanced tab
Enter a number into the "Maximum messages/articles to return" field
Save and close the document

The next time you replicate this account, the new setting should take effect.

NOTE: This value is the number of articles per newsgroup to download. For example, if you set this value to 100 and you are subscribed to 5 newsgroups, Notes will try to pull 100 articles from each newsgroup. Also note that setting this field to 0 or null (leaving it blank) will cause Notes to pull all articles from all newsgroups.
