Responding to several questions: Can Imail be run on Web edition? NO. Web edition can be used for web services only. Imail is a program that is installed. It is not a web application. Imail has a web application AS PART OF THE PROGRAM. It is not separate in that you can not only have the Imail Web service running by it self, It requires other Imail services. Now, if you wanted to use Windows Server 2003 Web Edition as a front end web for Imail which is on another server, that would be allowed.
Does Windows 2003 contain a complete mail server? Yes, in the most basic form. It only offers the SMTP engine, POP3 capability and mail boxes. Nothing else. No rules, no hooks, no AV scanning, no processing, no backups, no spam scanning, etc. How good is the IIS 6.0 SMTP engine? Very good. It is solid and have not noticed any problems with it. Some have reported seeing volume of over 50,000 in a backup MX configuration without any hiccups. Has any one used it? Yes, I have been using it since Beta2 with no problems. Web edition includes a POP3 service, so why can not Imail be installed? The Windows Server 2003 POP3 service is an extension of IIS 6.0, for which Web Edition is designed to run and nothing else.
