Operation stopped at your request: mail.box

The above link worked for me. I first uninstalled PGP, then removed the PGP lines (see below) from all the Notes.ini files. Then re-installed PGP with the msiexec parameters as shown below.

Here is text of post above in case link does not work.

Lotus Notes: PGP Desktop preventing sending of Email

Posted by patrick on Apr 18th, 2008

After upgrading to Lotus Notes 8 on my Windows XP PC I found that I could not send emails. I eventually discovered that the problem was caused by PGP Desktop.

When attempting to send an email, Lotus Notes provided the following, typically cryptic, message:

Operation stopped at your request: mail.box

The problem is caused by these two lines being present in the Lotus Notes notes.ini file:

EXTMGR_ADDINS=nPgpOvid.dll
NSF_HOOKS=nPgpOvid.dll

The lines are inserted each time I start PGP Desktop 9.7. This is despite the fact that, within PGP Desktop, in Tools -> Options -> Messaging, I have not selected “Secure Email” and, in Tools -> Options -> Notifier, I have not selected “Use PGP Notifier”.

Removing the two lines shown above from notes.ini and restarting Lotus Notes solved the problem. Unfortunately this is really a workaround rather than a proper fix.

PGP Desktop 9.7 does not provide support for Lotus Notes 8 as stated in the release notes (https://supportimg.pgp.com/guides/pgpDesktopWin_971_readme_en.pdf). Support for Lotus Notes 8 comes in the forthcoming PGP Desktop 9.9 release. Removing the PGP lines in the Notes.ini will disable PGP Messaging. The recommended way to disable components is at install time using an MSI switch. For Notes it is “msiexec /I PGPDesktop.msi PGP_INSTALL_NOTES=0″ from Start -> Run on Windows. Since PGP Desktop is already installed an uninstall and re-install using the MSI switch is required. This is documented in a knowledge base article on our support website here: https://pgp.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/pgp.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=821.
