Choice Mail : How do I move CME to another machine?

Why Use Choicemail?

Because it works.

Spam now accounts for about two-thirds of all email. It costs most email users at least 15 minutes a day. Research shows that spam costs companies $400-800 per mailbox every year. And these costs are growing.

Permission-based email management is the only thing that actually solves, or ever will solve, the spam problem. (To learn more, read our whitepaper.) It is 100% effective, and ChoiceMail makes it available to you now.

With ChoiceMail, you will never get another piece of unwanted email because a message can reach your inbox in one of only four ways:

It is from someone on your whitelist
It is from a new sender whose registration request you accepted
It matches a permission rule you created
It is from a domain that is on your accepted domain list.
You approved it manually

In short, if an email is in your box, it’s because you want it there. ChoiceMail transfers the burden of dealing with email messages from people you don't know back to where they belong– the senders. Learn more and get your FREE trial for home or business!

Why ChoiceMail

How do I move CME to another machine?

Step 1) Use the installer to install the main program and control panel applets in the new machine

Step 2) Stop the ChoiceMail servers on the old machine

Step 3) Copy the entire contents of the ChoiceMail folder on your old machine to the folder on the new machine where ChoiceMail was installed

Step 4) Update your network configuration (including firewall, mail server, and MX records if necessary) to reflect any changes in IP addresses due to the change in machine

Step5) THERE IS ONE IMPORTANT CHANGE that must be performed when moving ChoiceMail to a different computer/drive. In ChoiceMail Server Preferences there is a setting to your mailboxes root folder. Make sure that the folder points to the correct location on your new computer/drive.
For example - this setting may have the following settings on the old computer: "C:\Program Files\DigiPortal Software\CMEnterprise\mailboxes"
If you install ChoiceMail on a D drive of your new machine the setting should be changed to: "D:\Program Files\DigiPortal Software\CMEnterprise\mailboxes"

Step 6) Start ChoiceMail Enterprise on the new machine
