Question QUESTION: Is there a way to list all the emails that do not belong to a folder? I have many emails stored in various folders and I want to keep those documents. But I have many messages that only appears in the view "All documents". I'd like to delete those "orphan" documents.
I was thinking to backup only my folders, then I could wipe out everything and restore my folders, but I've been told it was not possible.
Thanks
ANSWER: Hi,
Once you delete a document from the All Views, they get deleted from the folder if they are in a folder. So, you can safely delete those mails from the all documents view if they are not in a folder.
By the way, the documents in the all view are NOT orphan documents. They are the REAL documents.
I hope this is clear.
Test before proceeding.
Regards.

QUESTION: Hi,
by orphan, I mean they do not belong to a folder. In other word, how can I delete all documents that do not belong to a folder?
I think I have that issue because I've deleted a folder without deleting the documents in it. So now the only place to see these documents is in the All view. But I know I can't delete everything from All view because it will also delete documents that are filed in a folder...
Thanks
Answer Hi,
If I understand this correctly, you want to know if a mail in the all document view is available in a folder and if not, delete it.
I did a search in the designer help and found this property.
FolderReferences property
This will show you the names of the folder where the selected document in the view resides.
If you are a very experienced developer, then you can write a lotus script routine to achieve your objectives.
Please read this property in the designer help for more details.
