Mulder,
Maybe this article I wrote later on may help you: http://www.bizzybee.be/2008/06/10/notes-mail-database-size-indicator-for-notes-8-basic/

As per this page:

The Mail Quota will not display if the mail database is not based on the Notes 8.0.1 mail8.ntf version, even if the end user is running Notes 8.0.1 as their client.

I’m using the 8.0.1 client but can’t use the built in feature because of the above reason. Martin, I’d really appreciate if you could help me locate the template file and then edit it. I am relatively new to Lotus Notes so don’t know anything about it.

thanks.

I like this, however in my tests it only updates when you open the database (I know, it’s a PostOpen…). Is there another method that might provide a more realtime update ala 8.0.1?

Erv,

I sent you a copy of my mailbox design, that should give you an idea…

I think this is pretty cool. Does anyone have a template that this is already applied in? I am having a tough time getting this to work. If I could see it I might have better luck.

Thanks

Glod, should be better now! I think I may have zipped the file while my Notes was open :-S

Hello again. I tried to download the actual Demo-Database but I got a “forbidden”-error. I think you have to check the Access-Rights of the Zip-File

Hi Glod,
Thanks for letting me know! Actually, the variable “Size” is used before it was calculated in the script. I changed this, and updated the zipfile!

it seems to be a little bug in the postopen-script. Line 11 sets the field doc.sizedesription if no quota exists:
doc.SizeDescription=Cstr(Round(Size,0))+”MB”
but this shows only “0MB”. It has to be:
doc.SizeDescription=Cstr(Round(db.Size,0)/1024/1024)+”MB”

Great, thanks, but there is a little problem: on my databases, if no quotum exists, it says: 0MB, can you tell me why?

@Bruce, Richard, Vitor: thanks!
@John, Mike: I looked it up and you’re right: it’s shown overhere: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/marybeth?tag=8.01
I should spend more time looking around on the web before creating stuff :-). Nevertheless, 8.01 is not here yet, and not everybody can upgrade to the latest version, so there’s still room for this. But thank you for letting me know!

Actually this will be a Notes 8.0.1 feature but only if you have a mail size quota. There will be a UI to show how you are doing against your quota

this will be part of the offical 801 mail template
