IBM - Mail rules stop working after a policy containing a mail settings document is deployed

IBM - Mail rules stop working after a policy containing a mail settings document is deployed

Question

Mail rules in one user's mail file stop working after a policy containing a mail settings document is deployed. And when the administrator attempts to re-open the mail settings document , the following error displays: "Cannot locate field definition for Field: $DPLocked"

Cause

Options set in mail settings documents affect user mail preferences stored in the calendar profile of mail files, which is the same location where user mail rules are stored. In this case, the calendar profile of the affected mail file contained a $DPLocked field. Domino Designer Help describes this field as follows: "A policy lock is indicated by the presence in the document of a computed field whose name is or begins with "$DPLocked" and whose value is the name of the locked field."

Answer

To resolve the error seen when opening the mail settings document, it was necessary to 1) replace the design of the Domino Directory using the pubnames.ntf template and 2) delete the existing the mail settings document and create a new one. Once the new mail settings document was pushed out via a policy, the user's mail rules began working again.
