SMTP Server in Windows 7 Pro - FRUSTRATION!

There was an SMTP server in Windows XP.  With Windows Vista Home Premium, that disaappeared.  I'm using Windows 7 Pro and I figure it should have the SMTP server.  Did several searches and still couldn't figure it out! Tried to install some stuff in IIS, but that didn't work (couldn't actually see SMTP anywhere).  Tried Free SMTP Server - it wouldn't even run (said couldn't find the internet).  Also found this page about setting up hMailServer, but I haven't been able to figure it out!  This is very frustrating.  I just want to send out e-mails from Integrade Pro.

Tried running Integrade from Windows XP mode under Windows 7. That didn't work either.

Now trying to setup Outlook 2010 for the board IMAP server.  Taking quite a long time to setup.  Crashed. Error said you can't configure an Outlook Exchange E-mail account while Outlook 2010 is running.  Have to do it from Control Panel. Tried to do it - can't find the server.  Can't check the username (you have to have Outlook on!).  Circular problem.  This is VERY STUPID.

This SUCKS.  That's why it's handy to have a Windows XP machine lying around.
