    You can run your own email company by just getting a server and setting up SMTP, POP3, etc. But no one would use your one because there are already bigger email providers like gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc. You would need to spend lots of money on marketing. And to provide reliable service, you will need multiple servers even though you can do it with just one.

    Thanks for this reply Sajid,

    Sometime ago, I was considering doing this for the fun off it, I guess it's a hard project to get dedicated to, Also money/time consuming.

    If you really want to offer such service you may focus on enterprise level email services but you still need lots of marketing to promote it.
