Yes. It's called clustering, and IMail cooperates with all of the major clustering software, including the built-in support in WinNT EE and Win2K AS and third-party products. This is not a low-cost area, however, as either specialized clustering hardware or more expensive software (which enables the use of general-purpose hardware) are part of the migration to true fault-tolerance. Alternately, but only if your usage is low, you could use a consumer NAS device--if your usage is slightly higher, an FC SAN--for storage. You'd thus preserve all non-system data to be mounted manually on a "warm spare" that has OS and IMail preinstalled and could schedule nightly exports/imports of your userbase. In all cases, knowing how to size a single, non-redundant mailserver is essential before you go about sizing a mailserver cluster.
