Kids Email server help

I really hope someone here can help me. I just started a new job doing IT work and found that the previous person left a Linux Redhat 7.2 machine running the company's email server. I have no idea how to maintain this such as adding and removing email accounts. I've done some research and have found there are multiple ways of hosting email. How can I find out which mail server is being used? I should mention that I know almost nothing about Linux

The server is just at a command prompt asking for login and password to root@mail. I can login fine but after that I'm clueless

The clients are checking their email from their own machines using Outlook or Outlook Express.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most likely the machine is running sendmail for the mail server. Once you learn more about how linux works you should be able to tackle the mail server. It can be a bit daunting when you are just getting started. The thing to remember is to try not to get too frustraited.

Hope this was helpful.
