Thank you for trying to help me. I really appreciate it! You're
special.
When I open EA Admin the DNS drop down does not show EMERALD.
Shouldn't it according to Step 30 below. Also my log files are
working and are filling with "Thread detach/Thread attach"
messages. Any ideas what I broke this time?
More answers to your questions below:
BTW how do you make second testing host in iMail.

Yes...I did that. I tried to reload EmerAuth, but it wouldn't
get pass the EmerAuth.dll file and I couldn't delete it either.
I removed (probably a big mistake) all references to EmerAuth.dll
in the registry, rebooted and was able to reinstall EmerAuth
after it allowed me to delete the EmerAuth.dll file. I booted
again.

The path I used was to the EmerAuth.dll on the iMail server,
Saint.

Under "LocalHost" it's Saint.iamnow.net
And what domain name did you specify in Emerald Admin ?
\\saint\imail\user

The above is not quite easy to do with many people on line using
eMail. When I redirect to the External Database do one can do
mail. A second copy of the iMail users would be cool but I don't
have a clue on how to set up such a test file. I do have a second
copy of the users on a second drive on the saint machine. I
don't have a clue on how to use such a test setup!
