Ok, I'm trying to configure my IMail server as it's suppose to be by default
when you first install it. Once I learned more about IMail I realized I
didn't have to configure it the way I did in the beginning. I guess I was
trying to be creative when I didn't need to be :-)
This is how I have it currently configured:
IMail version 6.02 on NT SP6 using NT database:
IMail Top Directory = E:\Imail
IMail Spool Directory = F:\Spool
IMail Aliases Directory = F:\Aliases
*Our group aliases are located here using plain text .txt files. This
didn't have to be done, but the ex-e-mail admin that helped me out took it
upon himself to do this :-)*
I've changed the aliases to all be located under the E:\Imail directory
where they belong using the default Imail files with the .1st extensions.
This is how I want to configure IMail:
IMail Top Directory = F:\Imail
IMail Spool Directory = F:\Imail\spool
IMail Aliases Directory = F:\Imail
*This is how IMail does it by default and this is how I want it now*
Problem is...I tried it and it didn't work. I copied the Imail directory
over to F: along with the subdirectories and put them all where they belong,
changed my registry settings to point to the correct path, etc. and when I
reboot the server the different IMail services such as (SMTP, Web Messaging,
POP3, etc.) didn't start because of the "server can't find the path..." type
error. What else needs to be done?
I changed everything back to the way it was because I was smart enough to
know you always back up your stuff when trying something new. I changed the
registry to point back to the way it was configured and now IMail is working
smoothly as before.
But, I want to put it back the way it shouldn't been in the first place and
it's not a challenge I must conquer.
Any help would be appreciated...as usual :-)
