Hi,

Same "problem" here. I have a Windows 2000 box with IMail 8.2x and an old Declude version. I want to move to a new machine with Windows 2003 and I *don't* want to transfer old IMail settings. Just the mailboxes and the user settings. I want to have a "clean" (as clean as possible) setup on the new machine.

I've done several upgrades and moves in the past but there was never such a big difference in the way IMail works. Usually I'd install the old version on the new box, do the transfer as per KB IM-19980116-JB11, and then upgrade the new box. I want to preserve the old box with the old software for a few days as a fall back in case something does not work.

I'm testing the new software on a separate testbox and would like to copy all settings from that box to the new production machine which will run the same software. After that I want to move just the user settings and mailboxes to the new machine and be up and running.

Maybe Trip Allen or Kevin Gillis can give us a few hints how to go about this.

Seems like, if I copy the mailboxes and just the registry settings for HKLM\Software\Ipswitch\IMail\<domain>* to the new machine running the new version of IMail all should work.
* <domain> being both the name and the ip-number for each domain.

Kevin, Trip, how about it?

Groetjes,


Bonno Bloksma

Thanks Markus.  I was able to find that but I'm in the exact same boat as
the original poster:
- Currently on Imail 8.22 running Windows 2000
- Moving to Imail 2006.1 on a new (different) server running Windows 2003

I wasn't sure on the best practice either, whether it's best to start with a
clean install of 2006.1 and transfer into that, or install 8.22 on the new
2003 server, transfer everything, then upgrade to 2006.1?

For such tasks it's always a good idea to consider the knowledge base:

We are looking to do the exact same thing for about 70 domains (400
users), and are using the Imail DB.

What database do you have the domains configured to use?
