Importing Windows NT Users

If a host uses the IMail Database for user mail accounts, you can import users from the NT Database and add them to the IMail database on the Import NT Users page.

Note: This differs from actually using the Windows NT Database, in that although the users keep their same user IDs, Administrators are required to set a default required password for importing these NT Users into the IMail database. Users can change the password after they have been imported.
