Title: Moving my imail to another server

It should work.  I moved our IMail server to a new machine with new IP's and renamed domains and was able to keep all existing clients.  After you restore your registry backup, you have to into the registry itself and modify all the keys for the IP's, domains and users.  It's tedious and takes a bit of time, but it prevents you from having to re-enter all your clients.

 

Run regedit and go to HKLM\Software\Ipswitch\Imail\Domains, like the Ipswitch article says, and start modifying the keys accordingly.  You are essentially renaming the key values for domains and IP's.  Also, if you changed your domain name, you will also have to go into the registry keys for all your users and change the value for their e-mail address to reflect that change.

 

For some registry changes, you may have to run regedt32.  Each program limits what you can alter in the registry.  I had to use both when I transferred ours over to a new server.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Moving my imail to another server

Folks, I need to move my imail clients to another server, but the new one has a new name and new ips, so i tried restoring a backup but it doesen't work. 

 

What didn't work about it and how exactly did you do it? I've done this several times and had not problem at all.

Is there any other way to do it without re typeing all  my clients
