Has there been any discussion of porting IMail to other platforms?  I
think IMail would be a welcome addition to the *nix community.  Granted,
sendmail is a powerful MTA, but sometimes it is overkill for smaller
environments.
Even for 100 users, there's nothing "small" about setting up pop, smtp, webmail, admin, DNS, backup, disk partitioning, defragging, etc, etc to have a mail server. You don't have scaleability issues, but you have every other issue.

  Wouldn't it be nice to have a full-featured mail server
such as IMail for *nix that could be configured in 20 minutes
Only if "configuring" Imail were all that had to be done to setup up a mail system and be a mail administrator. I assume the 20 minutes excludes reading the Imail user guide start to finish. :))

 as opposed
to sendmail which typically takes hours of digging through HOW-TO's,
README's, newsgroups, etc...  I think IPSwitch would be pleasantly
surprised at the response from their customers if they were to release
such a product.  I'm interested in hearing everybody's opinion on this.
For a commercial, integrated mail system on *nix there is the German CommunigatePro, about the same price range. There are others.

I expect Imail was written to Win32 exclusively and is perfectly non-portable ie, without a total $$$$$re-write.
