You're looking for information on how to set up an email server using IIS (Internet Information Services) and Webmail.

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Prerequisites:

  1. Windows Server operating system (e.g., Windows Server 2019, 2016, or 2012 R2)
  2. IIS installed and configured
  3. A domain name (e.g., example.com) and a DNS server set up
  4. A mail server software (e.g., Microsoft Exchange, Postfix, or Dovecot)

Step 1: Install and configure IIS

  1. Install IIS on your Windows Server machine.
  2. Configure IIS to use a specific website (e.g., example.com) and set up a virtual directory for your email server.

Step 2: Install and configure mail server software

  1. Choose a mail server software that you want to use (e.g., Microsoft Exchange, Postfix, or Dovecot).
  2. Install the software on your Windows Server machine.
  3. Configure the mail server software to use your domain name (e.g., example.com) and set up a mail server (e.g., mail.example.com).

Step 3: Configure DNS records

  1. Create a DNS record for your domain name (e.g., example.com) that points to your mail server (e.g., mail.example.com).
  2. Create a DNS record for your mail server (e.g., mail.example.com) that points to your Windows Server machine.

Step 4: Configure IIS to use the mail server

  1. Create a new website in IIS for your email server (e.g., webmail.example.com).
  2. Configure the website to use the mail server software (e.g., Microsoft Exchange, Postfix, or Dovecot).
  3. Set up authentication and authorization for your email server.

Step 5: Configure Webmail

  1. Choose a Webmail client (e.g., Roundcube, SquirrelMail, or Horde) that you want to use.
  2. Install the Webmail client on your Windows Server machine.
  3. Configure the Webmail client to use your mail server software and domain name.

Step 6: Test your email server

  1. Test your email server by sending an email to a test email address (e.g., [email protected]).
  2. Verify that the email is delivered successfully and can be accessed through your Webmail client.

That's it! With these steps, you should have a basic email server set up using IIS and Webmail.
