Info

What is the front-end software The cc:Mail client is the front-end software you would use to access the post office. It lets you create, send, save, and receive messages. There are a number of versions currently on the market, which include 16-bit and 32-bit clients. The client software can be run from either a network server or from a local machine. Each user has a small number of personal files that must be kept in a separate personal location. What is a cc:Mail post office The cc:Mail post office is a set of files located on a network file server. The post office is the central repository for cc:Mail messages and addresses. Each post office has a mail directory that lists all the people and post offices with which you can exchange mail. It contains all of the individual mailboxes (files) for local users and for other post offices. The cc:Mail post office is a file-sharing database. All cc:Mail applications may share the database, and they rely on the network’s file and record locking environment to do so correctly. The cc:Mail post office can be broken down further into user files, message stores, and controlling files. Compatibility between versions cc:Mail as a product has developed over the years with the most significant change happening around two years ago. This was a complete overhaul of the back-end post office structure. The new post office structure is known as DB8. Having a strong backwards compatibility has enabled many cc:Mail environments to evolve over the years. The following table shows which clients and administration tools can communicate to which back ends: DB6 DB8 Lotus Domino Client Release 2.x X Client Release 6.0x X Client Release 6.3x X X Client Release 8.x Admin tools Release 5.x X X X Releases 6-8 2 Moving from cc:Mail to Lotus Domino R5
User files Each user has a separate file for their personal information. In DB6, these files always started with USR. These files are known as U files within DB8. The following information is kept within these files: • The user’s name (as it is known in cc:Mail) • The user’s cc:Mail password • Personal mailing lists • Personal Internet address (this is for DB8 only — in DB6, these addresses are kept in the privdir.ini file located in the user’s personal cc:Mail directory). • A pointer to each message sent or received by the user. Users can create personal cc:Mail archives. The location of the archives depends on the setting in the wmail.ini file. In general, by default, the archives are saved in the user’s personal cc:Mail directory. Main message store Each post office has a main message store. In DB6, this is called MLANDATA, and in DB8, this is called CCPOMS. This is where a single copy of every transmitted message is stored. If a message is sent to multiple users within a post office, only one copy of the message is stored. Each user will have a separate pointer to the message. When a message is deleted from a user’s inbox/folder, the pointer is removed. Once all pointers have been removed, the message will be deleted from the message store. Post office control files One of the main changes between DB6 and DB8 is the splitting of the CLANDATA file. This one file controlled all of the following internal post office information: • Master index • Directory store • Message index • Message allocation table • Free space table In DB8, this one file has been split into three files: ccpodd, ccpods, ccpomi.
