 | View Full Version : Free Web Mail System (Win2k) 123x 11-20-2002, 02:20 PM Currently i have http://www.mailenable.com standard version installed on my Win2k server and i want to find free web mail system that can be use with it please give me some suggestion's. coz i don't have money to buy there pro edition. Brad @ Xiolink 11-20-2002, 03:08 PM Don't know of a decent free one for W2K, however, we use Merak Mail which is very reasonably priced. A full edition w/ unlimited domains is $280 and you can get a 1 domain limited version for less. mshowman 11-20-2002, 04:50 PM There really aren't any free Windows-based e-mail server / webmail software packages out there but this may work for you... http://tde.tucows.com/preview/280371.html Speckz 11-20-2002, 06:33 PM Their is actually a free email server that I know of for Windows. It’s called EMWAC (http://www1.sica.com/IMS/). But it isn’t easy to install. I have set it up on Windows 2000 server though a few times. Wolfy 11-20-2002, 07:02 PM XMail server: http://www.xmailserver.org (free/open source Mail server that works fine on W2k) There are a number of web-interfaces linked from the Xmail website, WAI works fine for basic stuff. These solutions will not be a simple, "click a few buttons to install" deal, but they work and they are free. 123x 11-21-2002, 11:50 AM hey xmailserver.org down??? http://www.xmailserver.org/ mikehodgson 11-21-2002, 01:42 PM I've actually spent the last week looking for a setup like this myself, here's what I found: Free Windows Mail Servers: Mercury Mail (http://www.pmail.com/overviews/ovw_mercwin.htm) EzMTS (http://www.ezmts.org/) XMail (http://www.xmailserver.org/) And with any of those you can use SquirrelMail (http://www.squirrelmail.org), which is probably the best webmail system out there. Hope this helps! mikehodgson 11-21-2002, 05:00 PM Forgot to mention, SquirrelMail should also work with MailEnable, though I haven't tried it personally.

The major disadvantage that I see about SquirrelMail, is that it requires IMAP, and I'd have thought that most 'hosting providers' would only use POP? While it looks like a good WebMail product, I'm not sure I'd want to have to install/configure IMAP just for it. Or is it possible to run SM just using POP, I've only taken a quick glance at their doc's? mikehodgson 11-22-2002, 01:22 PM Most webmail apps do require IMAP servers, one of the few that can use pop3 is IlohaMail (http://ilohamail.org/). It is a good software package, though I did have problems getting it send e-mail. Maybe someone else will have better luck :-/ Mike peachtreewebworks 11-28-2002, 11:48 PM Originally posted by Brad@RackMy Don't know of a decent free one for W2K, however, we use Merak Mail which is very reasonably priced.
