how to implement e-mail sever using java/jsp/struts?

hi....

i want to implement mail server.
i want to develop the system using java/jsp/struts/mysql.
can anybody tell me the step to implement mail server..?

thanks

"vng sys", please check your private messages for an important administrative matter. Again.

A mail server generally has no user interface. Are you sure that you mean a mail server and not a mail client.

That's a big undertaking. An excellent open source mail server written in Java already exists: Apache James. Check it out to get some ideas on what's involved. Its UI is based on Telnet, though, so no web technologies are involved.

thanks bear....

Why would you want to implement an email server?
