I've posted this twice already, but am having no luck in replies. I'll try one more time

There is a local business in town who has a mail server.


The server is Win2k server and all they use it for is simply mail. I'm not sure what they use to make the pop3 work currently, but it does. I'll find that out in a little while.


How easy would it be to install some type of webmail on that server?

Just something like squirrelmail for the server. Something that would make minimal downtime for their mail.


What I was thinking, is just install ensim for 1 domain and set up mail accounts that way. That way there is already squirrelmail on board.

Otherwise, I'd have to install PHP, Perl, and a mail program... and do it all correctly. I'd be lots faster for a 1 domain license of ensim and tossing that on real fast then setting up everyone's account.


How else could I do this?

they allready have a pop server, why not find an ASP based webmail client that can pull from POP accounts?

it might require a little hacking/custom configuration.

Installing PHP and MySQL on Windows is really rather trivial, even if you have never done it before. Just make sure to read the readme files, OR download one of the pre-packaged installations.

If the mail server supports IMAP as well, then SquirrelMail would work nicely for them as well (SquirrelMail only works with IMAP accounts).

I don't do much with windows servers, so not much I can really suggest :(

Ive heard neomail is good, this website www.mail2web.com also lets u log in to a pop3 account via the web.
