Hi Everyone, I am thinking about setting up a free email site similar to hotmail , gmail. Can anyone recommend an off the shelf software that can be used? Or give me any idea on what the cost would be to develop? This will need to scale well, as of course I hope for huge growth over time I want to be able to serve ads to the users as well. Thank you for any info or advise you can offer. Smokey
Your ability to scale not only depends on software but how its setup and your hardware infrastructure. My pick for well developed enterprise solution backed by a well-known company would be http://www.zimbra.com/products/ Well worth a look.
