The regback -r will only work if there is not IMail hive present. It is not
a merge/overwrite. You will need to either rename or delete the IMail key
and then run the regback -r. Overkill on safety IMHO but better safe than
sorry

Subject: [IMail Forum] Registry Save File - Restore Failed
> Today I need to restore the registry save file that I create each night

> I had made a tweak to an iMail registry entry (I know, I know ...) and

> to make the primary domain www.foo.com instead of just foo.com, but by

> Thankfully, I was able to undo the changes and get the domain back up
