Well, great minds think alike*.
I'm working on upgrading my IMail+Declude too. And
like Matt, I'm doing it primarily to update my MTA, not to update my stable
Declude 2.x software!
I went directly from 8.15 HFx to IMail Server 2006.04a (aka
9.04) as an upgrade**.
I haven't upgraded Declude yet even though this is a
supposedly-buggy combination. See:
from Aug-24-2005; the v3.x series was put into general
release a week later.
Now, your mileage may vary, but Ipswitch may have fixed
what they broke in the intervening gap. I've been up and running and
processed 84,000 messages for 125,000 recipients with no
issues.
As a bonus, rebooting the server during normal operations
no longer leaks spam as it used to do, i.e. I no longer have to make sure to
shut down the IMail services before a reboot to prevent spam
leakage.

** My IMail upgrade steps not include required
reboots
a) RTFM
b) made sure my backup was good
c) told my firewall to silently drop incoming SMTP requests
from the Internet
d) install MDAC 2.6+ (I went with 2.8
SP1)
e) install IIS web server (no front page extensions, no web
admin, no ftp, no smtp, etc)
f) stop all Ipswitch services and
applications
g) install the IMail as an upgrade to my current path
(d:\imail)
h) wait interminably as CACLS.EXE applies security changes
through my spam folder contents
i) test from internal side j) apply Windows
Updatesk) test from internal side
l) told the firewall to allow inbound SMTP
again
m) test from external side
n) bask in the warm glow
