I found a committee of these ominous vultures on the lookout January 12th.  A few were on my roof, others were on the neighbors’ roof and our fence.  I don’t know the exact species.  It reminded me of the movie Ice Age –  there , the animals were fleeing the impending flood and traveling in herds, and the vultures singing from the trees at the mouth of the canyon, “Food … glorious food!”

The email server, which is currently deployed on my Microsoft Windows server, is the Standard (free) Edition of MailEnable Server, having unlimited domains and mailboxes. It works nicely as a POP3 server and smart host and forwarder for Exchange email.  But, only the Professional version (or above) of MailEnable server offers a usable webmail interface, along with IMAP protocol for mail client access.

I am considering the deployment of hMailServer, a free e-mail server for the Microsoft Windows platform.  It supports the common e-mail protocols (IMAP, SMTP and POP3) and purports to be easily integrated with many existing web mail systems.

AfterLogic WebMail Lite is a free community edition of full-featured WebMail Pro server application. It provides a webmail front-end for an existing POP3/IMAP mail server.  I am hoping that AfterLogic WebMail Lite can be easily integrated with hMailServer on Windows platform.

Stay tuned for details of my first installation. . .

The rain has accumulated 9 inches here locally on the Tampa Bay Area Gulf Coast.

The weather forecast is for rain approximately 3 days solid along the Tampa Bay Area coastline.  My pool is at the brim and Debbie opened the drain on the pool filter to supplement the natural overflow from the pool onto the pool deck.  The rain continues to fill the pool faster than she can drain it.
