I am getting the following when trying to access Webmail. I really dont know what step to do next to get this working.
Failed to access IIS metabase. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironmentException: Failed to access IIS metabase.
The process account used to run ASP.NET must have read access to the IIS metabase (e.g. IIS://servername/W3SVC). For information on modifying metabase permissions, please see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904.
Source Error:
An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

| Before messing with the IIS metabase, please ensure that you have IIS set up correctly. From the web site in IIS Manager, right click and select Properties. Select the ASP.NET tab. It needs to have a minimum Version 2.0.x. On the directory Tab, select security, Edit, and ensure That Enable Anonymous Access is enables and the user account should be IUSR_[Computer Name]. In the application Pool section check the properties, go to the Identity tab and ensure that pre-defined is selected and that it shows Network Service. Next go to the root folder of your web site, right click, properties and then security. These services should be there: Network Service Interactive System (all have Full Control) and Network (List Folders only). |

bottom half:

I was able to verify everything above the bottom half. However, I am drawing a blank at Application Pool and "root folder" I dont see a Securty tab in the properties selection of c:\inetpub or c:\inetpub\wwwroot.

I too was getting this error when I first setup my .NET server. Basically, I found out that I installed IIS before I installed ASP.NET and that screwed things up. To fix the problem, uninstall and reinstall ASP.NET or run this from a command prompt:
“aspnet_regiis -i ”
Hope this helps!

Application Pool will be found in IIS Manager:
Unless you added some pools like I did, there should be one there called DefaultAppPool. Select it, right click and then select the Identity Tab. Ensure that pre-defined is selected and that it shows Network Service as the Account to use for that pool.
The next step is to check the file permissions of your web site. You need to navigate to the root folder of your web site, for example: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\. Select the folder, right click the folder and select Properties, then select the Security Tab.
You want to ensure that the wwwroot folder has at a minimum these permissions:
These services should be there:
Network Service
Interactive
System (all the above should have Full Control)
Network (List Folders only).

If you do not see this type of Tab, What Operating System are you using and what file system do you have installed (FAT, FAT32, NTFS)?

After reading the above post from mtosborne I decided to take the following steps:
1. I uninstalled Webmail
2. I uninstalled IIS
3. I uninstalled the .NET Framework
4. Rebooted. (note your mail server will not work cause .NET has been removed)
5. I installed IIS
6. I installed the .NET Framework
7. Rebooted
8. I installed the Webmail interface
9. It works like a champ.
Thanks for everyones help.

| Mail Server v1.0.5.9 | |
Mail Server
- Added additonal tracking of connections for SMTP and POP3: if they stay on for over 30 minutes, they are
getting disconnected;
- Fixed a problem with mailbags when they accept mail only when main server is down: in case of timeout
mailbags were still treating the main server as "available" and rejecting mail;
- Changed color coding of logs. Now red denotes only errors, delivery is green, POP3, SMTP, IMAP
connections - blue;
Web Interface
-
Fixed a problem, when session timeouts were causing errors in the windows system logs;

function;

| Mail Server v1.0.5.8 | |
Mail Server
- Mailbags now have an option to accept mail only when specified server is down - will help to fight
with spam which attempt to deliver mail bypassing the main server;
- When delivering mail, if main exchanger returns 4xx reply (temporary problem), the server will not
try other exchangers, will retry later the main exchanger;
- Server options moved from registry to a XML file. 64 bit versions of Vista and 2008 server appear
to be having access rights problems to the Windows registry, and the change will make our server more
compatible with 64 bit versions;
- Added an option to specify the number of lines on the log screen, when using the user interface.
Was causing memory problems if left running for long time;
- Fixed couple of problems, which were showing when SQL server was set up to use
case sensitive SQL statements;
- Made changes in the remoting interface to allow logging in using aliases;
Web Interface
- Made changes to allow logging in using aliases;
- When viewing folders, web interface now displays the name of logged in user;
