Many Lotus Traveler issues which are effecting just one person, can usually be fixed by using a couple of commands on the Lotus Domino Server console. I will explain here some of them (click on "Read more").
Show Infos
The first step is to dump the config from the user via "tell traveler show <username>". It will gives you useful informations about the Traveler config from the user.
Example:
tell traveler show Joe Blocks/sales/ACME
Which will give you a similar output as blow:
Lotus Traveler has validated that it can access the database mail/jblocks.nsf.
Encrypting, decrypting and signing messages are enabled because the Notes ID is in the mail file or the ID vault.
Canonical name: CN=Joe Blocks/OU=sales/O=ACME
Mail Server (Home): CN=domino-01/OU=srv/O=ACME
Mail File (Home): mail/jblocks.nsf
Mail Server (Current): CN=domino-01/OU=srv/O=ACME
Mail File (Current): mail/jblocks.nsf
Mail File Replicas: [CN=domino-01/OU=srv/O=ACME, mail/jblocks.nsf], [CN=domino-02/OU=srv/O=ACME, mail/jblocks.nsf]
Notes ID: Mail File contains the Notes ID which was last updated by CN=domino-01/OU=srv/O=ACME on Friday, February 19, 2010 5:21:54 PM CET.

Reset the config
To reset a users config you need to use the "tell traveler reset <deviceID> <user>" command. You can use the * for all devices the user use or the Device ID seen in the info dump. Normally a user is using only one device so * should work for you.
To reset the config from Joe you can use:
tell traveler reset * Joe Blocks/sales/ACME
or
tell traveler reset 811833D71C5C220737E65639D4548330204FC023 Joe Blocks/sales/ACME
Result:
Command 'tell traveler reset 811833D71C5C220737E65639D4548330204FC023 Joe Blocks/sales/ACME' for device 811833D71C5C220737E65639D4548330204FC023 and user CN=Joe Blocks/OU=sales/O=ACME completed successfully.
After that the user should create a new connection to the Traveler server and should perform a new sync.
Delete a config
Sometimes a reset isn´t working in that case you can use the "tell traveler delete <deviceID> <user>" command. It is similar to the one above. You can use * or the Device ID.
Pending Wipe Request
The user or the administrator can perform a wipe request. This request is then stored in the Traveler server until the user comes back online. In some rare situation it could happen that such a wipe request was placed in the system, but the user got a new device (e.g. the old one was broken). If this fresh new installation now touched the Traveler server the user will see a error message on the device, that the devices is locked.
Joe Blocks/Sales/ACME: E71: Locked out since Dienstag, 26. Oktober 2010 20.14 Uhr CEST because of security flags wipeApps
The administrator can check all security infos on the system console via "tell traveler security allstatus" and can delete the one which is causing the issue via "tell traveler security delete <device> <user>".
Example:
tell traveler security delete * Joe Blocks
Command 'security delete * Joe Blocks' was completed successfully.

In the Example,
Notes ID: Mail File contains the Notes ID which was last updated by CN=domino-01/OU=srv/O=ACME on Friday, February
Notes Id is updated but for one user I get the below message.
"Notes ID: Mail File does not contain the Notes ID."
Now how I can fix this can you help me out??
@Boopathy
has this user uploaded his Note ID File via Traveler Website or via iNotes/DWA? If not please let the user upload the ID file. After that the information you see on the console will be removed.
@Bastian
All mail files are set to synchronise unread marks. When I set it my mail file to not synchronise unread marks I get this error when carrying out a "tell traveler show....." command:
The database ****** on ******* is not configured to replicate read and unread marks. As a result, unread marks will not be replicated with the device.
When I enable replicating unread marks the error vanishes but unread marks do not synchronise.
Do you have any ideas?
