Known MS Exchange message and folder migration issues
This release note lists message and folder information that may not be migrated along with a user's Exchange mail file.
Messages
The Domino migration tool for Microsoft Exchange does not migrate the following message items:
- Attachments in messages where the attachment is preceded by an embedded object in the body of the message.
- Messages that are inserted within another message.
- Information in the BCC field of a message.
- CC recipient lists over 255 characters. Only the first 255 characters of the CC field are preserved during migration.
- Read\unread marks.
- Some font information. The fonts used to display text in a migrated message may differ from those used in the original Exchange message.
- Large Outlook "Notes" items. The Domino Administrator may hang while attempting to process these items.
Receipts
The Domino migration tool for Microsoft Exchange does not migrate the following information in automatically generated messages:
- Body text of Exchange return receipt messages marked read before migration and stored in the Exchange Inbox, Deleted Items, or Personal folders.
- Body text for delivery confirmation receipts.
- Body text in undeliverable message reports.
- Return receipts for unread messages received by Outlook\Exchange users.
For example, If Outlook\Exchange user A sends a message to Outlook\Exchange user B with a request to receive a return receipt, and the message remains unread prior to migration, after users A and B are migrated, if user B opens the message in Notes, user A does not receive the return receipt.
Folders
The Domino migration tool for Microsoft Exchange does not migrate the following folder items:
- Subfolders within a user's Outbox, Sent Items, or Drafts folder. Messages within these folders are migrated to the All Documents view of the mail file.
- Folder names containing the characters "\" or "|". These folders may be renamed during migration.
- Folder hierarchy for subfolders migrated from a user's Inbox and Deleted Items folders. Subfolders migrated from these locations are placed within a folder named according to the following format:
Exchanged[Inbox|Deleted Items]Subfolders
For example, after migrating a subfolder CurrentProjects from a user's Inbox, in the Notes mail file a folder with that name is placed within a folder with the name ExchangedInboxSubfolders.
