Tim,
If you are using an external DB for IMail domains, then that does contain a
field that has the users folder location and all 'old' user records need be
updated to point to the new location. Guess you better learn how to modify
the DB records, pretty quick! Should not be all that hard, although you may
want to export the data, use a Search and Replace in a text editor, then
import the updated records. I'm not familiar with SQL tools so cannot offer
any suggestions about a way to modify multiple records, quickly.
Sorry, if I spouted off or came off as being hard-nosed, but I was under the
impression that you were using an internal DB (IMail or NT) as you did not
mention anything about what DB you were using. All that I have said still is
true, when using IMail or NT DB.
