Ipswitch has a pretty good knowledge base on thier website. That's the
first/best place to look. As Robert Everland said, Imail builds the tables.
You just have to point to a database. If you're looking for information on
the database structure, create a dummy domain with a few dummy users.
You'll then have all the info on the database structure. I can't remember
what it looks like, but there are only 10-12 columns there.
BTW, last I checked, IPswitch didn't have a utility to change a version
using the registry (or whatever it uses for user storage by default) to an
external database. That was a while ago, so you'll probably want to check
to see if such a monster was made. In the older versions of Imail (around
v3-4), user information was poorly encrypted in the registry. It wasn't too
tough to write a script to transfer the information to an external database
(I did it with ColdFusion :). My experience might be outdated for this
version, but I threw it out just in case.
