Where I work has particularly aggressive web filtering, and I can't
access my personal email provider's webmail. (the site's blocked)

Is there a way I can host a webmail server on my own iMac (Snow
Leopard)?

I've got a static IP address at home; I was thinking of something along
the lines of simply entering my IP address in IE at work, and being able
to access my emails.

I'm sure it's doable, the question is how, and is it within my (limited)
technical abilities? Any pointers would be really gratefully received.

And in case anyone responds with 'STFW', I have, and didn't find
anything I really understood. I'm sure some of the ucsm black-belts can
help!

Cheers in advance.

Peter

You can run the mail server CommunigatePro on any machine that runs OS
X (Intel or PPC). There are many examples of people running CGP to
support small businesses mail needs on various flavours of Mac Mini.
We use CGP running on Snow Leopard Server, but have previously run it
on machines with Leopard and Tiger client versions of OS X. It
consumes little by way of resources, and is pretty well supported.

There is a 'community edition' that is free (limit 5 users) which I
imagine would suit your needs well.
