 |
|
Hello,
I'm new to this thematic, so I have a few questions.
I want to install gentoo on an old laptop to run it as a server.
This server should provide mountable disk-space to the network,
it should share my usb-printer and it should fetch mail from several
email-accounts and provide an easy to use interface to read the mail.
(I would like to have a webinterface to read and send email, and the
possibility to view the mails with a graphical email-client)
What application is the best choice for each task?
This is for home-use only.
Thank you in advance,
Andreas |

dovecot for IMAP, one of the pop3d's for pop3, sendmail for smtp, and to bond everything else together.
don't know about webmail, tbh.
