You need some extra software to run it on windows, like Lotus Domino or Microsoft Exchange. You could also get mdaemon from www.deerfield.com and I'm sure you can get numerous free ones from Tucows.

For web servers you can use IIS, just make sure you apply all the pathes.

Use Apache for your webserver and PMail for your mail server

It has its own smtp server
afair go to admin tools in control panel
inetrnet services manager and if you expand your computer name you should see your smtp server listed.
If you don't-you will have to add it-I think from windows componenets in add remove programs

IIS only has an SMTP relay as far as i know, so that rules that out. That ciggy smoking man is right, you need 3rd party in this case. I recommend tucows.
