There are plenty of free HTTP monitoring solutions out there that will match page content and send email notifications. You could use one of those to notify a program alias if the web service is unavailable. The program alias could then launch a script to restart the service.
However, we ran into problems where the webmail service was still running, but would display an error when the user attempted to log in. Since our monitoring could not post data with it's HTTP monitoring, we opted to use an inexpensive third party ASP/ASP.NET-based webmail product and phase out IMail's webmail usage.

In my Event Viewer, the error reads: The IMail Web Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds: No action. I know I've asked this question before and gotten various answers from you folks, but is there a way to take corrective action? I know Imail doesn't provide a way (it does, but it doesn't work), and I know I could buy additional software that monitors our services, but it seems to me like IIS or some other internal monitoring system could be told to restart that service if it unexpectantly quits....Is there?
