I don't know why there isn't some kind of pre-made install that you just click the "OK" and it downloads and installs the email servers.
When I looked at it last, which was about 3 years ago, you had to install 5 or 6 or more different apps, get the interoperatbility going, setting different switches....it was endless. All I want to do is click an "OK" and it is done.
Quite frankly, I don't understand how people can write very technical apps like email servers, yet be so completely unable to create a one-click installation feature. This goes with so much more than email, by the way. It seem's like it would be so exceedinly simple to do one-click setups.
But I am curious, how exactly did you learn? Did you work with someone who already knew how to do it so you didn't have to learn on your own? Or did you learn 100% on your own?
I'd be very curious to learn from you on the above issues.
