I'm presently using Imail 8.1, planning an upgrade to Imail 10.
Imail 8.1 will let you put the Web Messaging login form pretty much anywhere; in my case, I put it on the front page of our Web site, and it just POSTs to the real server's login.cgi page. People can check their email right from the front page, everyone is happy, works great.
Imail 10 won't let you do this - pretty much any attempt to log in from somewhere other than /iclient/login.aspx is bounced back to /iclient/login.aspx.
If you follow the Ipswitch Web forums, this is basically a duplicate of this post: http://forums.ipswitch.com/Topic47203-10-1.aspx
I've already tried most of the "obvious" stuff. The old SSO hack isn't really a viable choice, because it leaves people's passwords, in cleartext, in the browser history. I've also tried various means of forging Referer: headers, tampering with __VIEWSTATE, and some basic web.config trickery to try to get out of the application framework, so that I can somehow put a login form somewhere else, and have it work. So far, nothing seems to be working properly.
Since this is how basically every ISP I've ever visited does things (they have a big "check your email right here" form on the front page of their Web site), there's gotta be a workaround for this. I'm just not clever enough to figure it out. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
