Greg, As Jason mentioned, you were inordinately lucky to get by with MS Access handling 6,000 accounts. I agree that, conceptually, using MS Access would predominantly affect authentication issues (latency in responding) but there may be other potential side effects. I, for one, would not entrust MS Access to handle more than a few dozen accounts. If at all possible, change the DB to the IMail (Registry) one and see whether your problems disappear. If they do, you have the choice of leaving the setup as such (great) or going to a full-fledged external SQL database (again, off of your IMail server box), even though I think that the Windows Registry would handle 6,000 accounts quite well.
