Yep. Grid layouts are still a problem though.  Scrapping those and going with Flow/table layouts with limited divs has worked best for us.  We usually do our mockups outside of .NET for initial layout testing, then bring them in and add the backend code.

Darin,
 
I am sure you probably have already done this, but by adding the browsercaps extension in your web.config it goes along way to fixing a lot of the layout issues with Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape/etc.

Very true... .NET by default is _extremely_ IE-centric.  In my mind .NET encourages poor layout techniques with the grid layout.  If you've ever created a simple .NET web app without changing the layout, and then tried to view it in NS, FF, or Moz, you know what I mean.  It works a bit better in Opera, but I won't go into Opera's rendering problems...
 
So, best bet is to scrap what .NET tries to lead you to, and use what you already know works for web layout.

Do I understand correctly that IMail's WebMail now run on IIS, with .net roots?  Most likely, therein lies the cause of cross platform woes.
