Hi I have an awesome domain name to create a free mail site along the same lines as hotmail / gmail and so forth. Is there anyone out there that may be able to offer advice or do this for me as a paid scheme. The money is there for the right candidate....
If you really have the money, go to http://fusemail.com. They're a big player in the outsourced, white-label email world. From a stability, security, scalability and maintenance perspective, you're better off having someone like them handle your back end than managing your own. If that's overkill, you can find a bunch of scripts (paid and free) here: http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Email_Systems/Web-based_Email/index.html You'll have to sort through the entries (some are just pop/imap clients or contact form classes), but there are full systems there as well.
Fusemail charge $0.99 per email address per month, I am not sure what they offer is what I am after, just checking out hotscripts now - thanks for the advice.
