How easy is sendmail to setup? (Demon Account) or

Even with the m4 macros sendmail is a pain to set up, though very powerful. I haven't used it myself, but Exim is always spoken of highly.

is there a Webmail server

I'm a little confused by what you mean by "webmail server", do you mean you connecting Windows client will access their email on the server via a web interface rather than using a standard POP3 / IMAP client?

that will do the sending a fetching of emails via Pop3 and/or SMTP, and allow users to "login" to access there email?

Fetchmail will download email via POP3 and then distribute to local accounts by a variety of methods. I would *suspect* your web interface program will then just talk to these local mail stores.

I had this at home when I used Navaho on a Acorn RiscPC, but hav'nt found anything for Linux that is easy to setup.

Can anyone suggest anything?

I had this working very well with Demon. You need 2 server packages 1 to collect the mail ( sendmail ) and 1 to allow your users to get mail from their workstations ( pop3 ). This isn't too hard once you realise you need 2 extra packages that are not installed by default ( I think ). To configure Sendmail get the sendmail-cf package I found the hardest part of this as a new Linux user was working out how to read the docs :-). For users I found the ipopd package best all I did was install it and my users can collect email useing their preferred program ( OutLook etc ). I don't know how to set this up as I didn't touch anything :-) Just installed and it worked. It provides both pop and imap. If you want to read email useing the web ( Yahoo, HotMail type setup ) take a look at IMP http://www.horde.org/imp/about/ If you need any help just shout. Simon.
