Unabl e to access l ocal mai l archi ve after user rename - 'You

Technote (FAQ)

Question
After a user is renamed via the Administration Process (AdminP), the user
receives the following error when attempting to open a local mail archive
database:
"You are not authorized to access that database."
Steps to reproduce this issue:
User A's mail file has "Enforce consistent ACL" selected.
User A creates a mail archive locally.
Administrator renames User A via AdminP.
User A authenticates with the server and accepts the name change.
User A then attempts to open the local mail archive and receives
error: "You are not authorized to access that database."

Answer
This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR#GFLY4QQMK3
and has been fixed in Domino 5.0.10 and Domino 6.
The fix that was implemented works in the following way: When a new
local archive is created, an Admin Server is not specified in the ACL.
Also, the client updates all local databases without an Admin Server
specified before updating the ID file when accepting a name change.
Existing local mail archives will need to have the Admin Server removed
manually.
NOTE: When using Domino 5.0.10, if users are renamed and using a local
mail archive, they have immediate access to the archived mail files.
Supporting Information:
In one case, an Administrator copied the user's 5.x archive database to a
6.x server and enabled "Full Access Administration" mode. By doing so,
they were able to access the database and modify the ACL to reflect the
user's new name.

Access Administrator Feature in Domino Release 6" (#7003449 ).
