Yes you can!, there are several ways in fact. If you have a spare ip on the machine you can make webmail bind to that IP only and then configure Apache/IIS to only bind to the other IP. This means you can have webmail running on port 80 (normal web port) and it won’t interfere with Apache/IIS. You can setup webmail so it runs directly under Apache or IIS, you will need to download webmail separately from netwinsite and run the webmail installer and then turn off the webmail port in surgemail as you won’t be using that. You would then setup a virtual domain in apache or IIS for the webmail. You can setup a virtual domain in IIS/Apache and then redirect requests to that domain to port 7080 where SurgeMail’s web server will then take care of things, this is operating Apache in a proxy mode but with IIS you are just redirecting the browser, unfortunately IIS as far as I know does not support proxy. This is the easiest thing to do and best thing to do if you don’t have a spare IP.
