The IMail Server Directory Structure

---

The IMail directory, usually C:\IMail, is "the top directory." You specify this directory during installation, and should never move or change this directory.

In the top directory are all the IMail Server applications and the directories for the primary host.

Each host directory (including the top directory which has the directories for the primary host) contains the following:

• The Lists directory contains all the list-server mailing lists as well as the text files that are referenced by group aliases
• The Spool directory where messages are processed ("the queue") and where log files are kept.For detailed information, see "Appendix D. Spool, Queue, and Log Files".

Note: Not all host directories have a Spool directory.Only the IMail TopDir has a spool directory.

• The Web directory contains templates, ads, and monitor files.
• The Users directory contains the users on the host. Within the Users directory, each user has a directory." Within each user's directory are the user id file (.uid); mailbox files (.mbx); index files (.idx); Finger Plan, Vacation, Rules, Forwarding files (.ima)
• The ldap directory contains information for LDAP-enabled clients.
• The cfg directory contains information for the IMail Client application.
