server.tab can be changed while xmail is running. After a couple of 
seconds xmail will start using the new information (it does take a 
little bit of time, so don't pannic if after half a second things 
haven't changed).

For the indexed files: it's best to edit them through the CTRL-interface 
(either socket or command line). In that case there is no need to reload 
XMailserver to load the new configuration.

Sincerely,
Bart
