install a POP3 server then they would get their mail from your server just like they would their ISP. Qpopper is a good one. If you are talking about a webmail setup kind of like HotMail, you might take a look at

http://www.endymion.com

and check out their MailMan program. Their are others that may be just as good but I don't have the URLs for them.

Are you using pop3 or imap ?

If you are using pop, then all mails received from the server will be downloaded to your local machine and deleted off the server.

Imap allows you to store the mails in the server and accessing it using imap protocol is supported on Netscape Mail, Outlook mail and almost any modern mail package.

If you want to look at webmail facilities, you can try the following products :

http://www.squirrelmail.org

http://neomail.sourceforge.net/

There are a few others, but maybe you want to have a look at these first.
