Quick dumb question for the IIS experts. If I have my webmail up and running, will requesting and loading a new 3rd party certificate interupt/cutoff users that are currently connected to the server (webmail wise)?
 
Nothing noticable. IIS won't drop all connections if that's what you're asking. However your clients may bitch and moan if you switch from HTTPS, to HTTP (whilst your get your new cert ready) and then back again to HTTPS. May only be a couple of seconds, but if the client is in the same session they it may come back with an invalid URL.

Although unless you have a few thousand clients I wouldn't worry about it!
