Since the POP3 Server is absent in Windows Server 2008 you can't utilize the platform as you might be doing with Windows Server 2003, where you receive and send e-mail to/from the outside world through the SMTP Server and point clients to the POP3 Server to collect their messages. The SMTP Server can be installed as a Feature on Windows Server 2008, which means you can utilize it as a mail gateway. (it is still useful in message hygiene scenarios) If you need a fully functional email system with Windows Server 2008 you can install Exchange Server 2007 SP1 onto it, which would add additional benefits beyond SMTP/POP3, like Outlook Web Access (Webmail), IMAP4 andPublic Folders (among others). Alternatively you can use a Hosted Messaging solution or even other 3rdparty Windows Server 2008 compatible mailserver products.
