From: Paula Manker [mailto:paula@wellspringsoftware.com] Subject: RE: Copy email config from one server to another The answer depends on the 'Save Settings' used on each tab of the E-mail Settings dialog. Below are the locations of the settings based on the 'Save Settings' selection: Save settings independently for this Windows User (WinUserName), and to this PC (PCName) - When this settings is selected, the settings on the tab are saved in the Current User Registry under Software\Wellspring Software\PrintBoss\Email. The registry settings would need to be exported to be used by another user.
Save as defined in Common Settings file. [{"PBDir>\Email\Settings\Hosts.ini"] - The file name changes with each E-mail Settings tab. For example, in addition to Hosts.ini you will find Adrs.ini, Misc.ini, and SbjBdy.ini. There are 2 settings under the Common Settings file choice. Both are saved in the specified path and can be easily copied to other another server. The additional choices are: Save settings in Section named by Windows User Name - This setting saves to the ini file under the WinUserName. Fortunately, the ini file can be edited to replace the WinUserNames with current WinUserNames. Sections can be copied and pasted to expand the settings for additional users.
Save settings in Section named Common User - In the same ini file there is a section at the top for "Common Users" when this setting is selected. All users with the Common Users setting share the same settings. If one user changes the settings, it is changed for all users. Since these settings can be changed on each tab of the E-mail Settings dialog, you will want to confirm the Save Settings choice on each tab. Be aware that changing the Save settings will not retain the current settings. For example, changing the Save Settings from Independently to Common Settings does not copy the settings from the Current User Registry to the ini file. The settings need to be reselected.
