You don't need to be setting up a mail server. 123-reg.com gives you scads of mailboxes so you shouldn't have to do anything but configure your email client (Outlook Express, etc;.) to point to your web site to get your email. If you're unclear how to do this, ask the support folks at 123-reg.com.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
