Question

I am able to open Lotus notes api using Perl, without errors, also I can get list of views that includes Inbox, but when I try to read messages from that view it appears empty? What might I be doing wrong? (in fact it seems like something might of changed on notes side as this code used to work before)

Result of code below:
NAME of View is: ($Inbox) has count of: 0
etc.

CODE:

use Win32::OLE;
my $Notes = Win32::OLE->new('Notes.NotesSession')
or die "Cannot start Lotus Notes Session object.\n";
my $database = $Notes->GetDatabase("",'mail\VIMM.nsf');
$database->OpenMail;
my $array_ref = $database->{Views};
foreach my $view (@$array_ref) {
    my $name = $view->{Name};
    print "NAME of View is: $name ";
    $view = $database->GetView($name);
    print "has count of: ", $view->{entryCount}, "\n";
}

Is the mailbox open to all users? You could try setting the -Default- access to Manager and grant it all available roles, just to make sure it’s not a security issue preventing the documents from being seen.
