Nope.

None--without  a license for another server and the willingness and/or
software  to  synchronize  locally  stored  settings.  If you paid the
ducats  for  Imail  licenses,  a dedicated SQL server, and some mighty
fast  FC  storage,  you  *theoretically*  could  run  multiple servers
against   the   same   userbase   and   mailboxes;   one   could   run
POP3/SMTP/SpellCheck,  another could run WebMail, another WebCal, etc.
Search  the  archives for experiments with this. It wouldn't be cheap,
but  hey,  you  could use port 80 on each host :). Would also depend a
lot  on  load; under heavy load, the Registry does outperform ODBC and
you'd have to deal with that knowledge.

(Note  to  Ipswitch  while  I'm  on  the  topic:  USE ADO!!! Any other
developers  out  there  who  can't  believe that they're still using a
deprecated technology (ODBC DSNs) instead of much faster options? This
could cover much of the Registry-vs.-ODBC gap!)

Nyet.

Ipswitch  appears to have developed the WebCal and SpellCheck features
in  modular  form,  which  is  smart, while actually deploying them as
different  applications  on  different  ports  is  not  so  smart. The
segregation  of  SpellCheck  in  particular  is  pretty  crazy  to me.
Segregating  WebCal  isn't so bad, since it can be easily disabled and
is such a different paradigm.
