home email server

[mfacer]

Hi,

I'm after a little advice about setting up a home email server. I'd like my "always on" PC (the server) to connect to all my POP3 accounts and store the mail on that machine. Then when I turn on my normal use PC and open outlook it will download the mail not from the POP3 servers, but from the server PC. This means that I can access my emails from anywhere by logging in to webmail on the server PC.

is there any software that does this? I don't want to actually host email - I think that means changing MX records etc - I simply want to download the mail and store on the server machine.

any advice is much appreciated!!

You might look at the Mercury Mail Transport System. It may do what you want...

Note that I have not used this so as always...YMMV...
