• Problem description
  Lotus Notes 8.5.1 Standard - seamless mail upgrade (SMU) fails
  if mail file
  "Set Bookmark as Home Page"
  
  Set mail file as Home Page and assign policy to have SMU. User
  is prompted
  (even if not selected in the policy) and upgrade fails.
  
  Test Environment:
  Windows XP
  Domino server:  V851
  Notes client: 8.5.1
  
  Reproduced Steps:
  On one machine with Administrator client:
  1) Register a user, Test User2,  the mail template is
  mail7.ntf
  2) Create a policy and a Desktop setting, and then set the
  setting document to
  specify the users
        Prompt user before upgrading mail file: No
    Old design template name for your mail files: *
    If Running This Version Of Notes: *
    Use This Mail Template: mail85.ntf
    Upgrade the design of custom folders: Yes
    Prompt before upgrading folder design: Yes
    Notify these administrators of mail upgrade status: (null)
  1) Create a policy and select the above desktop setting
  2) Assign the policy to this user.
  
  
  
  
  On another machine:
  
  1)    Clean install a single-user Notes client
  2) Launch the client as the user to be upgraded,
  The mail file is upgraded OK from mail7.nft to mail85.ntf.
  
  This procedure works as long as the workspace is configured as
  homepage
  But if you use a welcome page including mail, then the mail
  upgrade fails.
  (please see below the scenario)
  
  1. Set up the home page to include the mail file
  
  2. Delete the calendar profile using the script below
  
  Sub Click(Source As Button)
   Dim session As New NotesSession
   Dim db As notesDatabase
   Dim profile as NotesDocument
   Set db=session.CurrentDatabase
   Set profile=db.GetProfileDocument("CalendarProfile")
   Call Profile.Remove(True)
  End Sub
  
  3. In the notes.ini
  
  delete the line: MailUpgradeCheckTime
  and edit the line:
  MailSetup=1
  (you may also add the line: Names=names.nsf )
  
  4. Click to open the mail file
  
  You get the following messages and the mail file is not
  upgraded:
  
  This message should not be displayed as the Desktop policy has
  "Prompt user
  before upgrading mail file: No"
  
  Then you get the rest of the messages:
  
  And the mail file is not upgraded.
  
  If you add below debug parameters to the notes.ini of the
  Client
  Debug_ThreadID=1
  Console_Log_Enabled=1
  debug_smu=1
