That's actually the easy piece; you can buy a pre-made ASP control. I
think ASPHTTP is one of the more popular ones.

It wouldn't need to, if you already have the username/password. The user
could click on a link "Go to web mail here", for example, that would be a
link to an ASP page. The ASP page would get the username/password (if you
are using basic authentication -- the popup box that asks for
username/password -- you can get the information from IIS), and send it to
IMail. As far as IMail is concerned, it's a regular logon. But, it sends
the next page (main menu) back to the ASP page, which returns that page to
the user.
So the user just sees a link, clicks on it, and then gets the web messaging
main menu.
