If you can export your user information to a text file then you
can just use a simple batch file to add the users to Imail.

My example here is pretty lame, however it has some functionality.

Export your user information to a text file that looks something like
this.

call letsadd joebob slimeball Joe Bob
call letsadd sallysue sicko Sally Sleeze

Write this as a batch file.  Then write a batch called letsadd.bat
like this:

adduser -u %1 -n "%3 %4" -p %2 -chgpass -info
echo Added user %1 successfully>>d:\logfile\adduser.log

You could probably write something slicker than this in Perl.
None the less you could do something as simple as this to add
a user without having to do it manually.  Hopefully you get the
idea anyway.
