Dave Overton has some links on his blog on how to get a WSSv3 site up and running on the SBS box without it breaking companyweb.

This blog shows how to view exchange public folder data within a sharepoint page.

This could be very useful to aid email archiving for projects as the public folder can be mail enabled.

Also this would allow a public calendar to be updated in Outlook but displayed in sharepoint - this is the opposite from what happens when you mount a sharepoint calendar into outlook.

Here is a great sharepoint webpart which will allow you to view an existing network share from a sharepoint libary.

The link first is the creator’s blog and the 2nd link is to where the code is.

Update

I can’t currently recommend this part due to a post install issue which stopped my sharepoint site from working.

The issue was resolved by using STSADM as covered in the installation guide except removing the package instead of installing

This gem is from the official SBS blog.

There is a tool to download and a guide to follow which will allow you to access files from a restored database file without having to mount it to a site.
