Andrew,

Did you install Standard, Pro, or the beta Enterprise.  Also, which OS did
you install it on?  I've installed it without an problems a half-dozen times
on various 2000 and 2003 servers.  As far as ports go, it only really needs
to have available 25 and 110.  The web admin and mail interfaces are simply
ASP pages, so it doesn't need to conflict with port 80.  If you installed
the beta version of Enterprise, then all bets are off because it has
connectors to other databases and I presume that there is a chance it could
overwrite some important files.

In regards to shared folders... this is really odd indeed.  The online
support for the stable versions of Standard and Pro is fairly decent and
their support does respond.  But, honestly, it seems unlike that this
software is the sole cause of the issue.  But, given the "coincidental"
timing of the whole mess, it seems that SOMETHING, and it's hard to pin down
what, is conflicting.  Try reinstalling the latest service packs, mdac, etc.

Best of luck,
