tat it.............


for this wat i need to ask from webserver and how to proceed this..........

Look at the classes in the System.Net.Mail namespace for sending mail. Look at articles in this web site for help with that.

The System.Net.Mail namespace does not have anything for receiving mail but there are articles in this web site for doing it too.

Have you thought of using opensource asp.net web mail applications??

Why dont you check out this http://anmar.eu.org/projects/sharpwebmail/

I had used it 2 or 3 yrs back for one of my client. I am not sure of it now. I felt it was good that time.

You can also try this http://www.smartertools.com/smartermail/free-mail-server.aspx. I am not sure of this from development perspective. I just know my website's mail server uses this software and I like it.

Let me know if it was useful.
