UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 6 AND LOTUS DOMINO 6
Using seamless mail upgrade
Seamless mail upgrade automatically upgrades mail file templates after users upgrade their Lotus Notes clients to Notes 6. When users first start the Lotus Notes client after upgrading, Lotus Notes begins upgrading the design of local databases like the Personal Address Book. At this time, the client also sends a call to the users' home server to upgrade the mail file template.

The server looks for an assigned Desktop policy settings document or Setup Profile document for the users. If one is found and the Mail Template Information section is complete, then seamless mail upgrade starts the mail conversion utility to upgrade the template.
