So, how can I avoid such problem? And why does it happen like this?

Many thanks!

ANSWER: Hi Rafael,

This is a matter of the mail format,
If You are not using HTML or RTF as default on the outgoing mails,
the attachment is going to get delivered in the end of the mail,
You'll have to check

File \ Preferences \ User preferences \ Mail \ Internet and set the value of "Internet Mail Format" to "HTML Only".

Question
Hi,

I've currently set up numerous people on lotus notes and have exported both achieves and address books to the appropriate users and have no issues what so ever and everything runs as it should except, with one user I have set up, when I have selected emails to achieve, then select achieve selected documents. The error message "File cannot be created" pops up and not allowing the achieve to take place. But if I copy and paste or copy and cut, i am able to write those emails to the achieve.  Is there any help so the user can archive her emails like all the other users by archiving selected documents?

Answer
Hi Ben,

There are several possibilities, why this error message could pop up,

1.) Archive file is corrupt
2.) One of the mails You intend to archive is corrupt
3.) No sufficient rights on the destination folder / Drive
4.) Problems with the log file.

I would suggest trying the log file thing first,
Go to the archive settings,
and check out the last tab, if the create logfile option is ticked,
untick it, it usually solves the problem.

In case it doesnt, try to create a very new archive criteria, with new destination file,
and give it a try, if not even this is helping,
Run the compact, updall, and fixup commands on the mailbox, database might be corrupt.

IN case of further questions,
Please do not hesitate to come back to me.


Lotus Notes Recovery - NSF File Recovery - Repair Lotus Notes

Resolving Lotus Notes Client Error: 'Database is corrupt'



IBM Lotus Notes is the desktop client option that can be used for e-mailing, instant messaging, calendaring, contact management, etc. and to access local and server (Domino Server) applications and data. The standard container for data in Notes architecture is NSF or Notes Storage Facility. These files contain 'notes' as the basic unit of data storage. 'Notes' can get inaccessible and unreadable for many reasons, including NSF file corruption. NSF files are regarded as local databases and require NSF File Recovery on getting corrupted. Following is one of the possible scenarios and a frequently occurring error message that indicates that the local database of Lotus Notes is corrupt.

Suppose you use Lotus Notes for important e-mail conversation with your business clients. But one day, when you try to open one of the relevant NSF file created within Lotus client, it doesn't behave as expected. The file cannot be opened and on each attempt of opening the file, it gives the below error message:

“Database is corrupt -- cannot allocate space”

Similar error can occur on trying to close the database.

Cause

Among other reasons, the most probable reason for the above error to occur is corruption of NSF file of Lotus Notes client.

Solution

Corrupted local databases of Lotus Notes can be repaired using 'command prompt' versions of server database maintenance tools- 'Fixup', 'Updall', and 'Compact'. Their local versions are named as nfixup.exe, nupdall.exe and ncompact.exe. If not available, you can copy nfixup and ncompact from Domino folder to LotusNotes folder and then run using the below set of commands from command prompt on desktop computer:

nfixup c:lotusnotesdata(filename)
nupdall -r c:lotusnotesdata(filename)
ncompact c:lotusnotesdata(filename)

You may be prompted to enter the Lotus Notes password to run these commands. Also, keep in mind to backup the file in issue to avoid any post consequences.

In case, the above utilities fail to repair the corrupted NSF file, you need to use a third-party Lotus Notes Recovery software. NSF File Recovery tools are high-end programs designed to scan and repair corrupted Lotus Notes NSF files with effective algorithms.

Stellar Phoenix Lotus Notes Recovery is a comprehensive solution that can repair corrupted Lotus Notes files created with Lotus Notes 6.x and 7.x. This Lotus Notes Recovery tool can restore all e-mails, attachments, calendars, contacts, and other objects. It is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003, 2000, NT4 (SP6).
