It should be fairly seamless. The differences that will be there (with IMail or
otherwise) are that they will see a full lock rather than a broken lock (or whatever
icon the browser uses for SSL), and the connection will be a bit slower (SSL has a lot
of overhead).

That is a fluke, or an intentional setup. IMail doesn't use basic authentication (the
pop-up box) except for the admin tools. If you already require the pop-up box at your
site, then you will also need the IMail logon (unless you get around it somehow, such
as using an ASP page to automatically log the user on like we do).
The only other issue that I have is a big one, but may be something unique to the web
templates I have designed. In SSL mode, often people have to try 2-4 times to delete,
reply to, or move a message. It happens often in SSL, never without SSL. I have
highly modified templates (and can't put back the original ones to test), so it could
be something I did. If anyone else has this problem, I'd like to know about it.
