hi All, I'm trying to teach the kids to email, and wanted to get them practicing buy sending emails to each other on the home network, (I don't want them on the internet, and I don't want to get 2 new email address from my isp) is there an easy way to set this up? do I need some type of email server software or is there another simpler way to acheive this?

Yes you can do this! even with Exchange 5.5 it can be done where you just send internal e-mails! its simple. Another program you can try that is freeware is Mdeamon. Try this it uses exchange and even has a handy web access function!
