What's SS 3.0? WSS?

SharePoint v3 (WSS v3 and MOSS 2007) are not designed to work with OWA, and
Microsoft makes no claims that it will work. Just getting that out there to
make sure your expectations are set correctly. They said the same thing
about v2, but you could kludge it together, if you were so driven. In v2
SharePoint sat above ASP.net in the iFilter list, so you had to tell it to
ignore paths that were ASP.net apps as it couldn't execute them itself.
That's the excluded path setting you read about. v3 is a full blown ASP.net
app now, so you don't need to exclude paths anymore. I haven't tried to get
OWA to work with v3 yet. I know there are some changes you can make in your
web.config if you have apps that v3 doesn't get along with. I'm not sure
what you need to do to get OWA working.

You'll need to configure incoming and outgoing email if you want to use
those services. They are not required.

WSS v3 works fine on SBS 2003 which has OWA. What you'll have to do is
create a host header for your WSS website in the IIS manager and then create
a DNS CNAME record for that host name and point it to your server's IP.

You can't run two websites on port 80 unless you give one of them a host
header, so I would just leave your OWA website alone and give the WSS site a
host header. For example, I called my WSS host header WSSTEST, so when I
want to visit the site I type in http://wsstest in IE instead of
http://servername or http://ip-address
