So why can't you run Imail and IIS on the same machine. I have had IIS annd Imail running on the same machine since 8.0 was released.
The serivce ports can be changed in IIS or Imail to be what ever you would like. I also agree it could be easire to manage the lists. At the moment it is confusing but we get by. Double Opt in would be nice also.
