Those aren't files: they're objects. They reside in the Zope Object 
Database, which by default is stored in zope/var/Data.fs though there 
are products to store such objects as files on your filesystem. LocalFS, 
for example.

You can set this by command-line parameters to z2.py, which is best done 
by editing your start script. Note that using a priviledged port (80) 
requires some security wrangling. Read docs/SETUID.txt for more info.

Almost always. The CMF in the past has has some issues with this with 
regard to skins, and some products have platform dependancies. But 
non-core products aside, yes.

Zope's a web server. It can provide clients (webmail) and administration 
for mail servers and lists (esp. mailman), and send mail (via the 
dtml-sendmail tag), but it won't be a mail server for you. Search the 
Products on zope.org for appropriate products, and read the Zope Book 
for more on sending mails from DTML through a MailHost.
