The issue here is there are all sorts of things in the registry that will
need to be changed.. If you want shutdown all the IMail services. Move the
folders and then start a registry for the old path and change it to the new
path.. You cannot export the whole registry to do this in a text editor
with a global search and replace as when you go to import it back after the
changes you will get a license violation and the machine will not re-boot
again.. .. It is easier to copy the user's mail folders to a safe place,
export the domains key and do the replace there. Then reinstall IMail to the
changed drive so all the services can be found by Windows. Import the edited
domains key and move the user's folders to the new path.
This is the easiest way but be sure you have backups as if you go wrong you
can really hose things up

Subject: [IMail Forum] Moving Imail to a different drive
I was planning on moving Imail to it's own drive. Right now it resides on
the C drive.
I checked the KB but it mentioned only how to move the users mailboxes.
Can I just move the whole C:\Imail folder to for example E:\Imail and in
Imail administrator change the location on Imail and spool to E:\Imail? I
would of course have to go through each domain and change the location of
that vhost as well.
I hope I don't have to re-install Imail to it's new location to reflect
the
correct location in the registry. We're using the Imail database.
