Yes. This was done at night with all mail services stopped. I saved all the data, made backups, so on and so forth. Using the IMail registry backup is good here. Then made the second machine basically as a clone of the first, including IP numbers. Next I installed and updated IMail to the same point. I then dumped all the information onto the new machine via CD because it can not be on the net with the same IPs. I replaced all files since it was the same configuration. Recovered the IMail registry. Made all the files writeable since the CD dump made them read only. Started IMail. Did a little testing on that machine to see what happened. Shut down the old machine so I could hook the new one to the network. Everything seemed fine. It is still running, so I don't think there were any major issues. --Eric
