that saved a few steps. If we run into any problems I'll let you know.

Here is the way we move domains from one IMail server to another IMail server.
1. Lower DNS refresh rate to 5 minutes.
2. Wait until DNS change is in effect.
3. Add domain to new IMail server
4. copy over files from old server to new servers location.
5. Export registry information for domain from old server. -->>domain.old.reg
Example Key location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains\domain.com
6. Export registry information for domain from new server. ->>domain.new.reg
7. Now you need to combine the two files into 1 "New" .reg file 8. Proof read the "New" file, if it makes sense, import into the registry. 9. Update zone file to show new mail server.
This has worked for us for moving a large # of domains, hope it works for you.
If you are still confused send me a direct mail and I'll try and help.
