Hmmm....
Although it's possible, it's not practical. You would have to create a set
of ASP pages which encapsulate the functionality of the web messenging,
adding a huge layer of complexity on top of the system.
The reason that you can't use ASP in an pages processed by the web
messanging service (WMS) is because the WMS is not regular IIS server.
Instead of running your ASP pages through a VBscript/Jscript/other
interpreter for processing before sending them to the browser (as IIS does),
WMS has it's own interpreter which substitutes the tags with the appropriate
data. The WMS doesn't understand ASP. The login page you describe runs
outside of it and passes in the Username and password to the login page.
Fortunately, with an External db, you can access some of the basic info
about your users outside of the WMS.
It would be WONDERFUL if Ipswitch redid all their tages as properties of a
component and gave us the methods to manipulate them. The we could scrap the
webmessanging service and integrate webmail with our regular IIS server. But
I doubt that it will ever happen as it would require a major effort on the
part of Ipswitch.
