Since Ability Mail Server only installs files into 'Program Files' and the Start menu, the transfer process is best achieved by simply moving the installation folder. The following steps provide the safest approach...

1. Setup the new server computer.
2. Install Ability Mail Server on the new server computer.
3. Ensure both computers are not running Ability Mail Server.
4. Copy the installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\Code-Crafters\Ability Mail Server 2\) onto the new computer, overwriting the new installation just performed in step 2.
5. Run Ability Mail Server on the new computer.
6. If you were operating in NT service mode, you will need to re-enable the option in General settings.
