The primary intent of the [http://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-mail-system Amahi Mail System ] is to allow you to pull all ISP email into use your Home Digital Assistant ([[Intro|HDA]]) as a mail server. Keep in mind this is still under development.

* It allows you to send/receive mail from your [[Intro|HDA]]. There are some quirks depending on if you have a registered domain with a paid service provider (i.e. [http://www.godaddy.com GoDaddy], [http://www.hostgator.com Host Gator], etc). With these services, there is typically what is called a MX record associated with the domain name. This will allow you to send/receive mail as your hostname (i.e. myhda@home.com).

* If you use the free ones (i.e. user.yourhda.com, [http://www.no-ip.org no-ip.org], etc), you will have to [[Masquerade_email_address|masquerade your email address ]] as your ISP (i.e. myhda@yourisp.com). This will ensure you can receive email replies from those you send from your [[Intro|HDA]].
