Re: [IMail Forum] Moving IMail to new server, downloading all messages

[Brad Sullivan]

The only thing that is different is the IP and the server name, I'm not only moving IMail to a new server, but the new server is also in another location. I would rather they not use POP3 for that, but you can't tell a user anything.  We host websites, so I don't have the ability to force some of our users to use one over the other. ----- Original Message ----- From: E.

OE is notorious for losing synch wbetween the server index and its local index...POP3 is not the preferred method to use for leaving messages on the server...For people that want to do that I strongly recommend IMAP4 as this is one of the main properties of the protocol not an also thought of.   Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad Sullivan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 10:26 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] Moving IMail to new server, downloading all messages   I'm running IMail 7.10 on NT 4, and am in the process of moving it to a new server running 2000 server.  I installed IMail on the new server and transferred all of my users accounts to the new server, and almost everything seems to work fine.  The only problem I am having is that I have several users who have the "Leave a copy of messages on server" box checked in Outlook Express, and when I move them over to the new server it tries to download all of their previous messages from the server, and I don't want them to have to do that.  I've looked through everything I could find for an answer.  Has anyone done this successfully, and if so, could you tell me how.
