Upgrade an existing IMail Server to IMail 10

Product: IMail
Version: All

Question: How do I upgrade an existing IMail server to the IMAIL v10?

Answer: Please follow the steps below:

A) First make sure that your server meets the system requirements for the new version of IMail. For instance, it would be a good idea to make sure IIS is up and running with at least the default site. Also, make sure that IIS is configured to use .Net 2.0.

B) Get a backup of the IMail registry keys as outlined in the following article:

C) Install the latest version of IMail.

D) If you use AV Premium, be sure to install the latest version(5.1.4).

Note: Since we now use IIS, your web pages may be blocked if you used the old port 8383. You can change the IIS web port within IIS if you want to use port 8383 instead of port 80.
