By default, it's that way with the web interface also. 3) get smartermail setup on IIS ASAP as opposed to the built in smartermail web interface... you'll have performance issues otherwise 4) the default password rules in smartermail are for at least 5 character password and different username/pw (you can't use username for the password for the account username). If you users with shorter passwords, they'll have issues so you may want to change that from the start. 5) declude is more tightly integrated with smartermail than Imail...you're gonna like that :) Give declude a call and they'll help you get that setup. 6) make sure you read the install/migration instructions carefully. 7) If you have dialup customers, they're not going to like you in the beginning....smartermail web interface is more graphical/slower 8) there is a management learning curse...smartmail is different from Imail. You'll like smartermail better after you learn to navigate. The key here is to login as the admin first and learn to get around from there.

(basically cbl said "you have to upgrade your imail....we don't care if it costs you money") I have two dedicated mail servers on windows I need to upgrade. Has anyone been through the migration process of Imail to smartermail and is there much involved? Also, I run declude, do I have to make many changes to that also and does anyone know if there is a cost for that? Any advice on this would be appreciated.
