In the IMail root directory is a file called imailreg. Mine is 630k. When I
select "Backup IMail registry" in IMail User Manager, it lists imailreg with
the same date as the date when you last closed IMail User Manager (just like
the manual says).
However, to sleep better it would be great if someone (hopefully from
Ipswitch) could confirm that the file imailreg is infact IMail's registry.
