If you want to setup an e-mail server, be prepared to read documentation carefully, and do lots of web searching. With antispam measures like spf and dkim, the process is more complicated than when I started running my own server in 2002. I started out with qmail, and am on postfix for over ten years now. I chose postfix, because I find it easy to configure, feature rich, and because it supports sendmail milters. I did look at the courier package, but seem to vaguely recall it didn't provide all the features I wanted. I however use courier imap/pop3, and sqwebmail integrated with postfix. If all you're wanting is to move from webmail to an e-mail client, then I use fetchmail to grab mail from my server, standard mutt to read it in a text console, and postfix configured to send outgoing mail to my server as smarthost. I use those three packages because they work for me, and I haven't had the need to look for something else.
