Gil,
This is easy to do.
1) Stop all IMail services.
2) Copy the contents of your user directory to the new location.
3) Export your HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains
registry branch.
4) Open that file in a text editor and replace your old path with the
new path where it is found and save with a new name (take note of the
formating with "\\").
5) Double-click the edited registry file to import it and then start
your services.
Since you haven't done this before, you must back things up before
attempting this. The original REG export should be sufficient to
restore to the previous state since this will only affect that branch,
but I don't want to take responsibility for mistyping something or a
misunderstanding, so back up your server first.

I called Ipswitch and after futzing around for a bit, getting dialtone

my server... I was told that the "top directory" would also have to

Everything looked fine from the administrative console. When I
finally logged on as a user, predictably, it didn't work.
If there's anything specific about this out in the archives, I
couldn't find it. After spending over 1/2 hour doing that and well
over an hour with Ipswitch support, if the answer IS in the archives
somewhere... please be kind enough not to shove my face in it... I'm
already whipped...
Bottom line... Is it possible to change the location of the user
directory in Imail 2006.2 in midstream?
Thanx for any help...
