Nonsense. It can be set up in an afternoon. A few hours if you've
done it before.
Of course
you are correct. Indeed, a webmail program is, on the
server side, a mail client with a remotely-implemented GUI. This being
a technical forum, I'd be shocked, and a bit dismayed, if anyone here
didn't know that.
I'm not surprised by what people willing try to not believe. In my case,
I run my own mail server. Whatever mail client(s) I use,
be they textual, graphical, or graphical-with-a-remote-GUI like a
webmail client, is still backed by the mail server that I control..
LOL. Well that puts you out of the range of most people - even for this
list. I used to run my own mail server in my basement. I had
exactly the comfort
of total control you have. But the machines seemed to sense when I would
be away, and always choose to wedge up then. After too many times talking
a 7 year old through rebooting the server rack in the scary corner of the
basement, I punted and someone with 24/7 ops handle it.
Jeeze man, what were you running?!
