MDaemon 19.5 and above - How to use the Pro theme when running Webmail in IIS

MDaemon version 19.5 introduced a replacement of the old Mobile theme with an updated theme, the Pro theme.  If the current Webmail service is running using IIS, additional configurations need to be made in order to utilize the new theme.

Note: The setup of these services under IIS is NOT supported by MDaemon Technologies' support team.  Those who choose to run any MDaemon related protocol or service under IIS must be aware of all security issues and ramifications of running any applications under IIS.
