| Hello Andy,
The Drop folder is for emails arrived to the local domain. If there is no
software to pick up the email and it is not for relaying, the IIS SMTP drops
the email to this folder. The "Queue" is for email that has been queued for
delivery, but have not been sent yet. Emails placed in the Pickup folder are
picked up by the SMTP Service and delivered to the recipient (requires some
extra fields in the email). Badmail is for undeliverable or otherwise bad
emails.
