I fixed the problem. I checked the registry of both servers and found that the "AuthDatabaseDLL" was different from my original server. When changing this, It worked

What happens when you use a different/new ODBC DB for IMail? If you find that it works OK and you can add and see new users, that would tend to confirm my guess and mean that there are new fields that needed to be added to your existing DB for 2006. Check Release Notes for database updates. Is your database on a different computer than IMail 2006? If so, again there is a KB article that may help: http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20051206-DM07.htm I don't know if it is possible to access the same database with multiple IMail servers, so please have only one at a time. I would expect the users folders to be in the location you specified during install, so I don't see this as a problem, unless the path you show is not the installed path. Users are stored in the registry when using the IMail DB and user folders are always stored on disk. Please answer all my questions... If you own IMail, I'd suggest you contact Support. No, you need to use a browser to administrate IMail and the other components.

[maaike] I already have my database in place. I see in my imail (ics 2006), that the users I create during the installation process are located in H:\Ipswitch\Collaboration Suite\IMail\users\... and not in the db. If not then IMail is not talking to the DB. The most likely cause for this is not having the connection information correct in the DSN: http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-19990622-DM01.htm [maaike] I think this is ok.... Or some other configuration problem: http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20001219-DM02.htm [maaike] i cannot open my Imail administrator, but odbc seems ok My dsn connection is working fine, at least when I test my odbc connection It says TESTS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY! My odbc connection is with SQl server authentication And I have another mailserver running with 8.22 and those server has the same dsn and that one is working fine. Btw, do you know if I can open imail administrator without using my browser?

Did the reading get you any farther? Are you evaluating IMail or are you an owner? What OS is IMail installed on? Feel free to provide other information...

If not, I can point the way, see below... Is this a new installation of IMail or over an existing version? If a new install, Is IMail working OK when you use its internal database? If it is, only then, should you think of trying the external DB option. What DB are you trying to use?
