Creating documents in mail.box stopped working

Subject: Creating documents in mail.box stopped working

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Application Development

Platform: Windows

Release: 8.5.2

Reproducible: Always

I have recently upgraded from Domino 7 to 8.5.2. An existing web application has an agent that creates documents directly in mail.box via OpenAgent (so not a scheduled agent). This no longer works. I get "mail.box has not been opened yet" in the browser window, and in the server log I get "Error connecting to server blah: The server is not responding. The server may be down or you may be experiencing network problems. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists." The server it says it cannot connect to is itself.

The line of code that it fails on is when it tries to create a new document either via:
Dim newDoc As New NotesDocument(mailBox)
or creating the document in the current database (that works) and then doing a copy of the document to the mail.box instead, and that didn't help either.

The same application is also still on a Domino 7 server and it continues to function there.

I have searched on the forum and found some other people with similar issues but none with a solution, that I could find any way.

Does any one have any suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
