Hi,

I want to try building a web based email system(like hotmail, iname,...but
of course a much simpler one) using Apache and/or a database on Linux. Can
any one give me some ideas on what to start with(e.g. any existing tools,
what languages to use, etc....)?

Any suggestion or reference will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Joseph

Check out php at www.php.net.
It's a script-language similar to ASP and it lets you access databases and mail
from within the html-page itself. Very easy to use.

Can you say "Perl, CGI, C, Tcl ...?"
