It is not that hard. The best thing to do is go into the ODBC control panel
and create a DSN. For example, IMAILTXDB is what I used for one. IMAIL -
TX (Taxes) a domain we are hosting, DB (Database). Then create the database
in the domain's folder under E:/IMAIL/DOMAINNAME/database. At least this is
what I do. Then go to the Host Admin, and mark it as External. HIT APPLY
FIRST BEFORE YOU HIT CONFIG!!!! Then after you hit apply, hit the config.
Leave the standard .dll file if you going to use access, change the Name to
IMAILTXDB and we leave the table name to default.
Now the bad part.. you need to re-add all your email address.. Don't worry,
they won't loose mail, after they are created, that same info is still
available.
I hope I helped and not confused you..... Check pages 15, 16, 17 in the
IMail manual if you need more help.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Switching databases question!
Hello All,
I know this has been discussed and some information I have found in the
Knowledge Base, but this is a little different than what I found there.
I have some domains that are currently using the IMail Database. I want
to switch these over to either Access or SQL. Is it as easy as just making
the change in the IMail Administrator to use the external database? Lastly,
does it create the ODBC connection for you or do you have to do it?
TIA,
Grant Griffith
