Web-based mail options for Win2K Server?

Locked

I’m running a Win2K server, have my own domain name, but haven’t figured out how to set up my own SMTP email system. I’d like it to support low-cost (or free) web-based email, but have only found CommuniGate Pro, FTGate Office, Ipswitch IMail, MailEnable Pro, Mdaemon Pro which are all commercial. PostCast server is free but the web site doesn’t say whether it supports or includes a web-based email client.

I am a newbie at SMTP, and tried setting up the CommuniGate demo but failed miserably. Can anyone suggest a simple and low-cost system that includes web-based email?

If I am correct (I know this works in Server 2003) but if you have your own DNS and are running IIS (for your website) it is installed automatically. Just type in http://www.yourservername.com (or .net, .org, or whatever extension you use)/exchange (www.yourservername.com/exchange). Let me know if that helps.

The easiest thing if you are just going to provide email and web services to people at a low cost is to setup a Linux box. Apache web server and the email programs needed are already included with the download of an Linux OS.

I currently use Fedora Core 4 and set my server up using this tutorial http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/perfect_setup_fedora_core_4/

Wow a reply to a 2-year old question! I’d forgotten that it was still open, and I’m amazed no one was able to come up with a solution. Your answer was valid but that’s not what I had asked – it was specifically Win2K. What I ended up doing (since I’m closing this old question) is just phone my ISP and they offered to host my email free of charge, so I didn’t even need to run it off my box. Been working perfectly ever since.
