i'd like to setup web based email so i can access my multi-email like gmail, hotmail and college email

i'm now attend 2 different colleges, also would like to have calendar, task, to do list etc, all web based so i can access them by 1 login from anywhere

dont mind if i have to run those by my small server at home which is running 24/7 but probably easier if i run them by hosting/email provider companies, i'm with dreamhost and vidahost. i've no idea if they could do them.

i like the look of MS outlook web-based but they're not free

any advices would be fantastic

thanks

Set up your Google Homepage. I know it has direct support for Gmail, but I've not tried it yet with other services. It's worth a try, though. It has a large number of features available if you look.

Forward them all to one webmail (gmail for example)?

what about this one? http://www.merakmailserver.com/Products/Webmail_Server_Software/

or Horde webmail? vidahost got them, but cant config to accept gmail/hotmail. anyone know how?

thanks

edit: sorry if i didnt explain properly, what i want is a software like any email client which will grab gmail/hotmail (outlook, thunderbird etc) but also share it over intenet so i can access email client with simple login and password from anywhere in the world. i think i used the word "email/webmail server" is wrong.

If your email provider doesn't support webmail, the only other option is to use something like Squirrel Mail on a server you host/rent.

Surely you can access gmail/hotmail via the web anyway? Or am I missing something.
