Software for e-mail within school

Our school has a Workgroup Server 80 as the file server which serves a
computer lab of 26 MAC 575's on an ethernet network. Now we are bringing
at least around 70 additional computers on line. These are mainly staff
computers with some student computers included. This is an ethernet
network with fiber optics backbone. Two questions which I would like to
have input. We have successfully run AT Ease on the computers in the lab
and on individual computers in the building. As we worked today (with a
paid technician) we ran into questions and problems. Now instead of the At
Ease screen on start-up I get screens which ask if you want to log-in as a
registered user or guest. Once you click on as a registered user, the At
Ease screen comes up. I was told that this was just the way that it was,
but I am not satisfied because I know that has not been the situation
before this person worked on my file server. What do I look for to correct
this. Any help appreciated.
Our second question concerns E-mail. We would like to use e-mail within
the building for all of the staff. We have looked at First Class and
Quickmail. Is there an answere that is not as expensive or even shareware.
We will eventually want outside e-mail addresses for all teachers. We are
installing network modem, but since we will have only one telephone line,
we cannot have separate e-mail accounts outside the building at this time.
I would like to hear how other schools are handling this.
