Default Moving a clients site to a new web server

Hi all,

I have a situation that I hope someone can help with.

I have designed a website for a client and require a windows server to install it on. I have done this.

The client domain currently points at a linux server. It stores its email etc.

What I want to do is, change the domain name and point it at the windows server. I hope to minimize downtime. The main issue is with the email address. I do not want a situation the client dont lose emails or not receive them during the changeover.

What is the best approach to this? Please ask questions if I havent explained myself clearly.

Thanks.
