Upgrade Mailfile Design

Hi,

We're moving from Domino 6.5 to 8.5 and have our mail files shortcut using EmailXtender 4.81.

I want to upgrade the design of all our mailfiles to the new 8.5 design. IBM recommend doing a copy-style compact followed by a convert.

My question is, is it safe to use the copy-style compact and convert tasks when the mail file is shortcut??

Mike
