Might not be the answer you are looking for.

This is what I use when I am testing something on my local machine or my
local lan
STEP I : Getting in the directory which hosts the pages
STEP || *python3 -m http.server*
it starts serving the web pages on that hosts ip and default port 8000
you can also specify different ports for different website folders
$ *python3 -m http.server 3000*


I also use the same trick to access files from another system over a web
browser.

This approach is fine for a test server. Dont expect serious
configurations using this

Do take a look at 
- Sogo https://sogo.nu/
- Roundcube https://roundcube.net/
- Rainloop https://www.rainloop.net/

In terms of looks and features Sogo seems a better choice the client will love 
it. 
While rainloop is not a bad option either. It just works, with a modern enough 
full featured interface
