If I understand what you are looking for, its an Email system which does not connect the the internet.

Just thinking about it, there are two ways which I can think of this can be done.
1 just set up an email server, complete with pop accounts and a smpt server.
The server you put this on does not have to be connected to the internet, thus, anything - any email addressed to the internet wont be delivered.

what I think you are really looking for however, Is an internal messaging system rather than a full blown email system.

you can build your own messaging system if all your users are using VFP, by writing the messages to a dbf, whenever a user on your system checks something , or you put this in a timer control,. you fire an event to see if there is a new message in the dbf for that user.

Nothing really complex about this sort of thing, you do have to write a login proceedure to aquire a 'user name' and use that as one of the fields in your dbf,

But if you could be more specific on what you want / or looking for someone here could really help you in the direction you want to go.
