Just install the Windows95 component "Microsoft Mail" and create a Postoffice on
the machine to be used as a mail server.  NB! you need to share the Postoffice
folder with full access.  The default name of this folder is "WGPO001" or
something like that.  You also have to add users manually in order for them to
use the postoffice.

On the client machine install the same component and add the "Microsoft Mail" -
service in Windows Messaging.  Point it to the shared Postoffice directory on
the machine you are using as the mail server.

 I think you can configure Windows Exchange/Messaging to automatically notify
you f.eks. with a sound when new mail arrives.  And by using a LAN connection I
think the default is that Exchange checks for new mail contiuously.
