David, At the moment, I have 2 separate computers. 1 running SM for the users and the second running Imail as a trial server. At the end, we will use the SM server (hardware) for the Imail. I can configure the trial Imail and then move everything when I install it to the ex-SM server. I think I will have to run both server side-by-side and ask the users to move their IMAP mail from one server to the other. I was just looking for a way to do it without involving the users.. I know that it's possible to migrate from Imail to Smarter Mail with a utility provided by Smartertools. I was hoping that the same thing could exist for the reverse operation.

If not then it wouldn't take long. Speaking as someone whose just moving from Imail to SmarterMail (in the opposite direction to you) then there isn't an "easy" path and I'd probably do it by hand rather than trying to script it for the number you are talking about. However, it's a lot easier if you have two on separate machines. David _____
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vincent Toussaint Sent: 05 February 2007 15:53 To: [email protected] Subject: [IMail Forum] Migrate from SmarterMail to Imail Anyone know if there's an "easy" way to migrate SmarterMail to Imail? I run SM on a corporate network (around 100 users, 25 mailing lists, 25 aliases). Most users run IMAP. if they were all using POP, I wouldn't have any problem shutting down the server for a couple hours to switch the software. But since 60% use IMAP, I need to find a way to move their messages to the Imail installation. Any input will be welcome! P.S Our CEO wants the new Imail to be up and running before the end of the week. -------------------------------------- Vincent Toussaint Sys. Admin Hybride (www.hybride.com)
