Finally got the wife's email working with some caveats. The engineers still need to grab the email off the other box and get it imported to the new one. She hasn't lost anything but just doesn't have access to it. Any new email should come in fine.

Next, I have a decision to make. I friend has extended a generous offer to host our domains that would result in basically $120/mth savings. Crazy not to do it! My "set in his ways" attitude makes me uncomfortable jumping from a hosting situation I am comfortable with. Other people jump regularly. Bah! Time to get over oneself and do the right thing. Now I just have to bring my bill current with my current host so that they will not block the switch.
