WampServer

i know a SNMP sever is a bad Idea for a noob but i already have to send all my email with COX anyway cause they block the ports. So all i realy need to is receive

So a few questions

1. how do i set up WAMP to receive and store Email?

2. How do I get to that email once it's stored with outlook?

3. can a test this before i bring my domain over with a dumy domain? like dumbytest.dyndns.org and set up a email addy of test@dumbytest.dyns.org ???


Thanks

Andrew

PS i could not find a writeup on this. if i did it says "coming soon" lol if i can get it working ans I feel i have it down maybe i'll contribute since you have helped me sooooooooo much

wamp does not come with an smtp server, you cannot send emails with it.

I said i didn't want to send EMAIL I only want to receive and store email

Enable your smtp service in your operating system

and you can receive or send emails with wamp

no, you need an smtp server to send and receive emails with wamp.

i know this you told me 10 times

I was assking if mail enable is god one to use?

if not are there any better one that are free and easy for noob to learn?

Well, If you want anything to work at all with email You need an smtp server.
You said you where using cox?

<a href="[support.cox.com]; > cox.net </a>
Go there and pick your area then use the corresponding SMTP server.

If you want you server to send/receive emails you'll have to configure that yourself by making your computer into and SMTP server. Or simply making another email address (i.e. GMail, Hotmail, ect.) and forwarding all the email to your Outlook inbox.

If you are just trying to send/receive emails on your computer you'll have to use something like mail enable, but you will also more than likely have to use an existing SMTP server from your ISP.
Cox Communications blocks port 25 to prevent spammers from using their email servers

You'll have to learn something to make it work the way you want it to.
Hope i've helped.

yeah i already have to use cox's smtp sever to send email. so thats not a big deal

I guess what i want to do is host my own email.

Then you'll have to have your own POP3 or SMTP server. I can't help you much there either.

You'll have to google for most of it. I'd suggest using "How to make my own Email server" or "how do I start my own email hosting server/service"

Anything within that area may help you turn up what you are really looking for.

if you know absolutely nothing of internet protocols like pop, smtp, imap, etc. do not host own mail server. a newbie server, if you can get it up and running will be completely insecure. their are millions of spam bots out there troll the internet looking for insecure smtp servers they can use to send their spam from. you could get into some big problems if your isp finds that you are sending spam from your computer. so, unless you know how to secure your mail server dont even think of installing one. and dont think if you read "email servers for dummies' you will know anything about email server security. that is up to experienced system admins.
