Look into courier for imap & squirrelmail for webmail

Aye - I use both - they work really well.

And of course sendmail - but the only reason I use that us the virtuser functionality. Otherwise it's overkill for the volume I have. It allows me to set up addresses that are not actual accounts and forward the mail for each 'virtuser' to any other email address on the net. It's easily admin'ed via webmin, too.

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Seconded with a proviso.

The whole courier package includes MTA, MSA, POP3, IMAP, webmail and a partridge in a pear tree. Fortunately, it's usually packaged so you only install and enable the bits you want.

The webmail app has the quirk that it reads and writes Maildir files directly, which means you don't need IMAP to run it. However, it's not very fancy or full-featured and there are some small bugs in the stylesheet if you're using Opera. OTOH, the IMAP support is quite good.

Oh and the SMTP bit's default settings will probably need detuning, as by default it's quite anal about following the RFC.
