There are services that provide web-based email that can be branded.

Two that I've used are:There are several others.

Are you looking for a service like that, or a program/script to put on your own host?

I highly suggest www.everyone.net it is one of the best email service providers.

as for you having 500mb of webspace, that really doesnt matter, what you need is emails to give. register at everyone.net for a small payment you will have lots and lots of emails.

I used Everyone.net for a while, and found it very good.

www.bigmailbox.com
also offers it.

Doing it yourself will mean doing quite a few changes to the setup of your website, but it should be possible.

There are really two ways to do it:

The first is to use the mailboxes which your host offers you (for example many hosts will give you 100 POP boxes for example. You would then have a signup page where people could request an account. You would then need to set up the POP mailbox manually, but they could check it from a webmail script you set up or a standard piece of software like Outlook Express or Eurdora.

The second option is more complex but should do exactly what you want. If you have telnet or SSH access to your server there should be a way in which you can set up the server to pipe the mail for a standard mailbox to a script or file (I don't know the code for it, though). You could then have another script to read from this file and put mail in the appropriate user accounts. This would then be combined with a webmail-type program to offer mail services.
