It would be helpful if you told us *how* you installed exim under windows -
I'm guessing you are running cygwin? Also you didn't tell us what version of
windows you are running, XP?

You can run MySQL in windows, but that's far from advisable. ;-)

Google? Seriously, google spat out
http://pigtail.net/LRP/exim/exim-cygwin.html which doesn't look too complex
and depends on the windows users on your system - assuming you are running
windows 2000 or XP.
If you want to go the MySQL route google for "exim4 mysql howto" or something
similar but be warned it will be frustrating unless you know your way around
MySQL.

How about learning how to use some sort of unix?
www.knoppix.org has a live
linux CD that doesn't install onto your PC but will allow you to play with
some of this software..and if you have a FAT32 partition, then you can save
an image to the disc.
