mail program installation query and issues

Post by rami »

i was trying to install a mailserver
a) in intranet which doesnot have public ip
b) in single computer with windows
c)a paid web domain


i have squrriel mail and iloha mail
i went through thier installation files but most of them are written with linux in mind
i have a piad web domain as well ,where i use cpanel to upload and manipulate file with 100 mb of

space

i want to provide webmail to user
first question,can use those mail only with in the intranet ? i have linux redhat as server and

sendmail activated...
the installation things get confusing in 2nd line itself...(install file of those mails)
...setup IMAP server....do i hav imap or pop3 with in linux or the mail program
and whats about username and password of SMTP when i use it in intranet.

what are my requirement to setup those mail programs in intranet?

question 2)can those mail program set up on the windows system may be using easy php as server..
what about IMAP AND SMTP?

question 3)i have uploaded the files to public_html in my web directory ...now where do i get

those STMP username ,password and what other info do i need ?
Do the webserver provide IMAP or pop3 servers?
What about giving web mail to users with 100 mb of space ?is it too little...?
(may be just for test)

i have heard about about horde as well but it is about twice in size in comparison to these

program(squirel....) so i think horde is not good for now...is it?
or horde is better?

is there any better documentation for the webmail installation any where?
i feel that even those mail app writer feels that its expert job to install a mail program so

thier documenation and ease of installation is very poor(we remember phpbb ..such a big

application but what a simple installation...)
so i think these mail writer should consider improving thier documentation beside theier

program..unless then it wont be used by every one

any way any answers for my questions
thanks
