iPhone - Unable to Move Messages

Description: Clients cannot move messages to folders to trash on their iPhone or iPad


Clients may see a message similar to the following...
Turn off and on the mail for the afflicted account...


1. - 5. Open Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > pick the account > turn off mail >
then...  turn it back on.
When you turn off the Mail, your account's mailbox will clear. 

6. Go to the inbox and re-sync.



After the re-sync, and your messages appear, you should be able to move mail around to a new folder, including Trash.















You're done!

Microsoft MTA Windows Server Administration 98-365

I just finished CBT Nuggets Microsoft MTA Windows Server Administration 98-365 series. It had a few things I didn't know yet. It was neat to see the new tools I had been missing. I'm already torturing the few real experts I know.

Notes Redirect File

The Notes Redirect File or .nrf is a text file that can be created automatically when you use the admin client to delete a database and you want to leave a clue, for the accessing clients, as to where they can go to continue to access a replica of the db.

 We use this when we remove a replica of a database so that client can continue to access the file on the another server. The format looks like this:

[NotesRedirectFile] 
Type=Move 
RepID=87654321:12345678 
Title=lesleysRedirTest 
Ref=CN=APP001/OU=SRV/O=MyCompany!!isg\lesleysRedirTest.nsf 

The name of this file is lesleysRedirTest.nrf (matching the name of the db, lesleysRedirTest.nsf) and, it goes in the directory of the server that the db replica is being deleted from.

In this case we deleted the db from server APP002/SRV/MyCompany and clients clicking the bookmarks or workspace icons going to APP002 will automatically have their links to APP002 deleted and replaced with links to the db on APP001.

 If you need to get a hold of a replica id of the db, in case you forgot to create the redir on delete, you can get one from the remaining dbs and get a db link. When you paste the db link in to a text editor you will get the following, with the replica id in it...

lesleysRedirTest
<NDL>
<REPLICA 87654321:12345678>
<HINT<CN=APP001/OU=SRV/O=MyCompany</HINT>
<REM>lesleysRedirTest</REM>
</NDL>
