how to setup SMTP on new Windows Server 2008 for email to/from a Visual Basic 2010 app

QUESTION 1 - Outgoing email: How do I configure Windows to send out email that is stored in \inetpub\mailroot\pickup\

My Visual Basic app stores email files into pickup\ when sending outbound email.

QUESTION 2 - Incoming email: How do I configure Windows to receiving incoming email to a directory? Like in \inetpub\mailroot\mailbox...

My Visual Basic app continually monitors the directory, and reads email files as they come in.

This all worked great in my previous Windows Server 2003.

But I see no way to add POP3 mailbox directories in Win Serv 2008.

You have to use "Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager" but not new "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager". Be sure that you added "SMTP Server Tools" as server feature.
