OK problem solved. I was on the same wave length as you.
First. I found buried in the Knowledge base that Imail needs SP5 or
greater. SO I updated to SP6a
Second. I used a utility program to capture all of the usernames and
passwords, and then removed Imail completely. I verified the registry for
removal of all instances of IMail. I re-installed IMail and all of the
patches, and then set up the bare bones domains. I then took the text files
and modified them to be line entries for a batch file to add the users from
the command line. I then copied back the users folders, and the spool
folder.
All is well in Corn Country.
I must have corrupted the registry with the import and export opf certain
hives for Imail.
Thanks for your help, and I hope this will help someone else if they (heaven
forbid) have to go through this.
