Hello

Your best bet would be to have sendmail receiving your email from external sources and a POP3/IMAP server configured so your clients can read email from your server.

Please send more details about your environment so I can help you better.

Hi,
i set up qmail together with sqwebmail (http://www.inter7.com). This works really fine for me. To get mail from
pop3-accounts on the internet you can configure "fechtmail"!
A nice qmail howto together with sqwebmail+apache+mysql+etc you can find here:

But to my mind there is no possibility to have something like outlook.pst files !

What do you mean when you say "receive exchange mail"? If you want your Linux box to be an Exchange client, see if your Exchange admin has turned on POP3 or IMAP, which is possible. That's by far the easiest way.

If you want your linux box to be a mail relay, that's something different. Be more specific.

And nothing that I know of will create a .PST file but MS Outlook. What are you trying to do, share mail with an Outlook client on a Windows partition on the same machine? Again, please be more specific.

One comment, if you want to access to Exchange mail from your linux. In case of existing public folders in Exchange server a lot of IMAP mail clients are work incorrectly with these folders. I recommend you use Mozilla mail client. It is excelent understand Exchange folders structure. Also Staroffice mail client works fine.
