Permissions - readable/writable by server, not by browser

I'm trying to set up a web-based pop3 email system using a program called mailreader (mailreader.com). I need to have a couple directories readable/writable to the server, but not to the browser. I've been introduced to .htaccess files, and know how to restrict access to a directory - but how do you write one so access is allowed by the server?
 
By the way, I'm running Apache 2 on NT4.
 
What group should Apache be a member of? Would its username just be Apache? I'm not too familiar with users.

thanks!
