So, to avoid such mail bounces and missing out important mails, Lotus Notes provides replication feature.

Replication feature allows your Lotus notes mail client to download all the email messages into your local machine and clean up your mail server, and give space for more mails. Since the corporate email accounts will have only a minimum space ( 100MB or 200 MB ), you cannot afford to store all the mail in your server. Replication would make the life easier for you. Here is how you turn on the Lotus Notes Replicator

Click on Replica Tab -> More Settings

You will get a replication Settings window

Click Change Schedule to update the time and schedule on which the replication should occur.

You will find various tabs in this window for advanced configuration. In this post I limit to turn on the replication and doesn’t want to extend much. 

Enabling replication will help to move all your mails to your local, hence faster access to your mail and clean up your inbox for morespace. Also you can sync up with your local and server while editing drafs, deleting mails etc. They are advanced feature of this replication. Will post more on the advanced settings of replication.
