Unlike MAPI, the IMAP protocol provides no method for a server to notify the client of a mailbox move, so your users will have to manually reconfigure their clients to point to the new server. This isn't a limitation of Exchange, but of the IMAP protocol.

All was going well until some wise guys decided to try their PDA phones using IMAP4. The users with their mailboxes still on the original 5.5 server (where the IMC is) can use IMAP4 no problems, but the users who are on the new server (in the same site) cant. The error in event log comes up along the lines of "The requested mailbox is not on this server". I had hoped that since both servers were in the same site, IMAP4 would just work, but it looks like not. We are planning to move the IMC to the new server, and we are also planning to move to MSX2003 real soon (tm) but in the meanwhile I would like to try and keep all this working. If anyone could provide some advice on how to work around this IMAP issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
