Tim,
Since you really did not answer what I was looking for, I guess I'll try
again. Of course, others who have replied have given good suggestions, too.
Especially about the Registry and Global settings.
Is there any domain that still has a Top Dir that points to C: (and the
folder these users are created in)? What is the name of that domain, and the
name of the domain that is having the problem? What IP addresses are these
domains using?
If some other domain were using the same Top Dir, that would not cause the
problem you see! But if IMail thinks there are 2 domains using the same IP
(you did something wrong that can be corrected) but different Top Dir, that
could give your symptoms.
Usually this happens because when installing IMail that person decided he
did not like the OHN IMail uses (the machine.domain.name) and they then
setup another with OHN (like mail.domain.name and using the same IP), when
all they really needed to do was change the OHN and add an entry into the
HOSTS file.
Anyway, we are making this way too complicated. IMail will only create user
folders in the directory which it thinks that user belongs. When you add new
users, they are in the right folder, great! But IMail thinks the 'old' users
are NOT in this domain, so it creates the folder in the location for the
domain it thinks they REALLY belong to. It is doing exactly what you told it
to. Find the domain that has that folder as the 'Top Dir' and you have found
the 2 'crosslinked' domains. Now you need to fix that (which can often be
done from IMail Admin or by editing Registry). More on that, once you find
the source of the problem!
