ndMail Error Handling
ndMail communicates with the NetDocuments servers via a secured SSL connection to prevent inadvertent data loss. Certain errors may occur during the communication process due to:
- Local Internet failures
- Slow responses or no responses at all from the intermediate Internet gateways
- Errors returned from the NetDocuments servers
Error messages are intended to communicate a cause and resolution of a problem that might have occurred.

Predictions and quicksearch troubleshooting
You might get some customers unable to find a workspace when doing a quickSearch (manually entering a matter number).
This relies on the workspace (.ndws) being SOLR Meta Data Indexed.
So if you can't find a matter you know exists in ndweb.
a) visit the workspace to create it
b) if its definitely there, check the indexing in webnoc / or refresh the workspace, that will get it indexed and available.
