I had the identical situation here. My solution was to write an ASP page
(running on IIS on the same machine as the portal), which connected to the
IMail web messaging, and logged on (same as if the user had entered their
User-ID and password and clicked the "Logon" button). I needed an object
called AspHTTP (from www.serverobjects.com) to grab the web page.
The key is not to follow redirects; then, make sure to set up the "Host" and
"Location" HTTP headers. You also need to set up IMail Web Server to ignore
the source IP address. It's a bit of work figuring it all out, but worth
it. It's nice to be able to just click on a link that will bring up a list
of the E-mail in your inbox.
