Has anyone got this plugin to work? I have installed it, however it
appears to not index my mail file.

Did you configure Notes to keep you mail store locally?

Sure did. Also have found out that I need to select to Index 'Custom'
Locations. In there ensure the 'notes://......' is selected. works a
treat.

All I need to do now is find out how to do Notes Archives. 0:)

I used to use GDS Enterprise but I struggled to get it to do Outlook
Archive files. Have swapped to WDS and now seem to have the opposite issue.

Hi Neil,
Yours is a bit funny case... :) Please dont mind..
Anyways, its good that you got your Notes mails indexed. But to your
disappointment, unfortunately this is the limitation for Notes plugin as per
which no files other than the Notes Mail files will get indexed with the
current implementation.
May be soon they will come with an improved version.

But still if you really want your archives get indexed, i have a small trick
that will do just fine.

TRICK:
- Copy your archive database file (ex: <archive>.nsf) from the
"data\archive" folder path to your "mail folder" path.
- Rename the actual mail database file (<mail>.nsf) to something different
than the current name (say <xyzMail>.nsf) AND assign this name (<Mail>.nsf)
to the archive database file. (i.e. <archive>.nsf).
- - So now your archive database file will be indexed as if it was your
actual mail database file.

In other words, we actually fool the Notes plugin. :)

Cheers!!

One thing to be careful of is that if you do swap mail.nsf files, you may
find that the original emails that were indexed may disappear from your
index. The reason for this is when the indexer looks at the new file,
believing it to be the original one, it will think you deleted all the email
that it had previously indexed as it's no longer there. Then it will index
the new email it finds.

Just my two cents.
