SME by default has the email server and web server enabled.
Configure external DNS records to point the Domain name at your SME servers external IP.
Add users & then Configure your email clients to use the SME server mail server eg
for IMAP www.yourdomain.com on ports 465 & 993 secure
Add an ibay, configure it for external access, and then add web content to the ...ibay/html folder, you can usually see this folder in Windows networking.

Please read the Manual which is linked at the top of these Forums for further details.
Also look at Server Manager, Review Configuration panel for details of mail server settings etc and there is also a server manager Email panel where you can configure aspects of email functionality eg enable IMAP secure local or external etc etc.

Hi

Thanks very much for quick reply. OK i am starting with your help, let suppose i have a domain registered with name of abc.com  which uploaded at external hosting and working fine so to test i wants to remove web from current hosting and then they would be copy under your suggested path for testing.

The point confusing me that  as you said "Configure external DNS records to point the Domain name at your SME servers external IP."   please explain how and where i have external DNS record.

let's say you have abc.dom

configure abc.com domain on your server

internally (i.e. from your lan), if your SME is your dns server, you'll see abc.com
externally, you have to configure the dns to point abc.com to your external public ip..

Please read the Manual, Appendix section re DNS.
You should talk to whoever setup your domain name originally, as they should have access to the external DNS records.
