Anybody know if Win2k3 Server, Web Edition, allows you to set up the Email Server Role? It may mean a $20/month difference for me to get that vs. a Standard Edition server. I'd like to save the money if I can.

All versions of Windows 2003 Server have full editions of IIS 6.0, I'm not sure if you mean something besides but you can go on microsofts side and find a comparison between the editions, just so you're aware of all the variations. :p

MS's website is really general about what IIS includes. You can set up a Web Server Role in Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, as well as a separate Mail Server role. The Mail Server allows you to run a POP3/SMTP server.

Still not sure, and I don't want to take the couple hours to re-format my extra NTFS partition and re-install Windows Server, now Web Edition, just to check for this one feature. If anybody *happens* to know, I would appreciate the enlightenment.

Though I wouldn't doubt potentially a less common service in the more expensive editions, both include "full" versions of IIS 6.0. If you haven't noticed, IIS includes their web, ftp, and mail servers.

I like to use Apache 2.0.49, but that's just my preference.

Unfortunately Apache doesn't support ASP.NET, which is my primary development/deployment platform.
