# This directive tells Apache to turn on "name based virtual hosting", i.e.
# directing of requests based on the name the page was requested as
NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster at dummy-host.example.com
#    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
#    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
#    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
#    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin me at example.com
    DocumentRoot /home/thissite/www
    ServerName www.thissite.com
    ServerAlias thissite.com
    ErrorLog logs/thissite-error_log
    CustomLog logs/thissite-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin me at example.com
    DocumentRoot /home/anotherone/www
    ServerName www.anotherone.net
    ServerAlias anotherone.net
    ErrorLog logs/anotherone-error_log
    CustomLog logs/anotherone-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Email, on the other hand, is a whole different story.  :)  Get Apache 
working, then ask again about Email, or check the archives -- both 
questions have been answered numerous times before.  :)
