Home email server retrieving email from ISP

[stharp]

I have a cable modem to my ISP and then on my side I have a router connected to it. Now my router is running dhcp client to the cable modem and dhcp server to my network. It also is the DNS server for my network. I want an email server to periodically download my email from my ISP and be able to view my email from any computer in the house. Also is your software able to dowload to multiple accounts and then delivery the mail to separate mailboxes? I would like to keep our email in one spot and just view it from any computer in the house. This would make it easier for me to back the email up when I need too. Please let me know. Thanks!!

Here is a brute force method:

You could use Outlook on each computer to download the same email from all of the accounts. Just click "Leave mail on server" for all but the "master" computer and back up only the master computer.

That would kind of work but I was hoping for something that was designed to do this. I am sure other people are interested in doing the same thing. But thanks for the sugestion!!

Hi, Steve

There is a program out there called NetPab, which purports to enable sharing of a PST file residing on a server machine.

See

http://www.netpab.de

for details. I haven't used it myself but it has been recommended to me.

First server & first client are free, so you can try before you buy. 5 user license is around USD 60.
