I would love to see Imail integrate with IIS to serve pages since it can probably loads much higher than Imail's web server. Why write a web server when one is built into most of the OS's Imail runs on anyway?

There have been numerous discussions about the amount of bandwidth that IMail Web Messaging consumes. A great deal can be done to limit bandwidth consumption and speed up page load times if IpSwitch would build functionality to do http1.1 stream compression on-the-fly. This is a very common thing with modern web servers, and should be used by everyone.
For example, the size of the iMail login page (v8.12) is 26,335 bytes. Compressed on the fly, this could be reduced 71.36% to 7,543 bytes. This compression ratio is actually on the low end-- many of our pages see reductions > 90%.
Not only would this help cut back immensely on bandwidth costs for iMail customers, but it would also significantly speed up WebMail responsiveness for users on slow internet connections (especially dialup). Those with faster connections would perceive less benefit, but even those users would get pages faster if there was general internet/network congestion between their PC and the iMail server.
This is just a strong recommendation to IpSwitch-- currently, I don't think there's any way for their little custom iMail web server to do this.
