How to setup an email system?

[tech4]

I have a question about setting up an email system in Direct Admin using hmailserver software (its a free software).

What is the first few steps of setting up email system?

How long will it take?

Note: I am not a programmer, I do have someone looking at this, its been 4 days, it doens't look like the guy knows what he is doing.

So I am asking for second opìnion on someone who knows.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply:

I am just asking for a second opinion. Since its been days. I mean days.


Second opinion need from someone who have done it before.
Thanks.

Yes it takes days because I have other customers and you kept saying put hmailserver on the website which is impossible.
Look at my sig 78 of my own then all my customers.
Don't worry I will have the mailing system set up so that it will work with an irc mailing client such as hmailserver tough the hmailserver will have to be on your computer as it cannot be put on a website

I have a question about setting up an email system

I'm confused - my understanding is that:

DirectAdmin runs on Linux(Debian/Redhat)
hmailserver runs on Windows

Can you describe in more words what you are trying to do - you are missing important details.

For example:
Do you have admin control of a server? If yes, what OS is it running?
Or
Do you have a hosting account? If so, have you tried their help/support.

It's unclear from the comments. Are you looking to setup a mail system (server AND client) or setting up a client only that works with an existing server. Are you setting these up on different machines?

Just say in full what you want to do. Maybe even why because it may be that you are trying to pull off far more than you need.

He can't install the exe its not windows hosting I will make it work with it if he ever replies to my message I honestly really couldn't care I have people who have paid upfront hense hes long down the list he'll have to be patient and get over it.

If it is on a linux server, why even bother. There are tonnes of alternatives that are linux based?

Allboeing:

IN your last message to me, you said you have tons of clients ahead of me which is why you didn't get started.
