If you don't want the browsers to access the *.mbx files, you can prevent this using ntfs permissions.
 
Better yet,  don't put them in the public web space.  If you are tracking total space used, try something like:
 
g:\somedomain
        \mail                    -    this one doesn't get mapped in IIS.
        \private_html        - this one can be mapped as /private and does not allow anonymous access
        \public_html        - this one is their web root

With IIS, you can map any .mbx files to a certain DLL in website properties/home directory/configuration... playing around with the mapping, you ought to be able to make them unopenable. You could also try specifying a mime type on them that would look like a gif or a jpg to the browser, and of course it wouldn't open them then.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Viewing .mbx files in the browser

I want to set up our user directories where their personal web space and mailboxes are in the sme directory. The only problem is I do not want them to have the ability to view the .mbx files in the browser which will happen if someone goes to www.domain.com/users/main.mbx. Does anyone know of a way to block files with these extension from showing up? We are using NT4.0 sp6; IMail 6.02 and IIS 4.0.
 
Thanks for any help
