One option you might consider is modifying the html for the login.aspx page.
All the form fields and javascript need to remain there but you can add
whatever images, text, etc. that you want.  You would basically be making
login.aspx be your main website page. Another option would be to display the
login page inside of a html iframe on your main page.

Subject: [IMail Forum] How to log into Web Messaging from somewhere else?

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.
