Eric & Rocky,
You guys are right...all I checked was the Ipswitch key and changed all the
paths there. I didn't know that the Services were located in a different
spot, but now it makes sense to me since the NT services are not part of
IMail and they are starting automatically on my server. Ok, now that I know
this I don't see a problem with fixing this, so I'll try again some other
late night or weekend :-)
Thanks for all the help

open regedit and do a search on the string "E:\Imail" from the top of the
registry and replace all you find with the new path. I'd be willing to bet
you missed the ones in the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
