Email Server
I know this is a pretty generic topic, and has probably been discussed in one way or another a thousand times, but I need a starting point.
Some friends of mine have a small local business, and I have become their "IT" guy even though my knowledge is limited. They own a domain name, but are not yet using it. At the present they use Yahoo for their email, and are wanting to use their company domain name instead (somebody@domainname.com). I am looking for any suggestions on what might be the best way to do this for them. Should I set up a dedicated email server on their small network (2 or 3 computers connected to a router)? They have an older computer that could be used for this, but I am not sure if all of that is necessary. Can you just set up Outlook to use that domain name? Sorry for the simpleton questions, but I just want to get some good ideas before I go and have them spend money on unneeded email software. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
