Controlling how much mail and calendar data is initially synced
You can use NOTES.INI settings on the IBM® Mail Server Add-on (IMSA) server to control how much older mail and calendar data is synced to the IBM mail support for Microsoft Outlook (IMSMO) client when it is first set up. By default, only mail and calendar entries that are 30 days old or less are initially synced.
About this task
Note: If you have a large number of users on a server who have completed initial sync and are using
IMSMO, it is best to keep the initial sync limit to mail and calendar entries that are 30 days old
or less. Increasing or removing the limit in this case can cause long delays in mail syncing.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| NTS_PRIMESYNC_TIME_LIMITS_MAIL_ENABLED=false | Enables all mail messages to be initially synced. |
| NTS_PRIMESYNC_TIME_LIMITS_MAIL_DAYS=value | Specifies a number of days of messages to initially sync. By default, messages that are 30 days old or less are synced. |
| NTS_PRIMESYNC_TIME_LIMITS_CALENDAR_ENABLED=false | Enables all calendar meetings to be initially synced. This setting is not recommended because it can negatively affect performance, especially during the initial sync. |
| NTS_PRIMESYNC_TIME_LIMITS_CALENDAR_DAYS=value | Specifies a number of days of meetings to initially sync. By default, meetings that are 30
days old or less are synced. Note: If you have a large number of users on a server who have completed
initial sync and are using IMSMO, it is best not to increase or remove the 30-day limit. Otherwise,
there can be long delays in mail syncing.
