was there an IMail hive in the registry before you tried the restore using
regback? If so it will fail. You must remove the IMail hive if it exists and
then run the restore process

Subject: [IMail Forum] IMail registry backup - Invalid
IMAIL : Version 8.22
In upgrading a server from NT4 to 2000, we found that the registry
backup created by REGBACK.exe is not valid. Our registry size for the
IMail key is 593 Kbytes. All attempts to restore it on the new server
failed.
The only thing that finally worked was to use REGEDIT and export the
key, then import it on the new server. The difference with REGEDIT is
that it exports to ASCII format.
I thought I had tried this before and it worked. Anyone else tested
their IMail registry backup file to see if / how they can restore it?
Thanks,
