I have IMAP and Postfix running for my webmail. Works like a charm... There are many webmail clients out there. I recommend squirrelmail (squirrelmail.org)... it it full of functionality (filters, calendar, weather, etc....) ...dozens of plugins, and is easy to install. Of course you will have to have Apache running with ssl support if you want secure login. (YOU want secure login... plugin for it on the squirrelmail website) With webmail you only need your SMTP port open (port 25) you don't need any extra ports open... less chance for an attack. You only need to open the IMAP port (port 143) or POP port (port 110) if you plan on using a mail client like (outlook, evolution, balsa, kmail, etc.....)
If I remember correctly, the only modifications I needed to make where in /etc/postfix/main.cf at the end I have mydestination = domain.com mynetworks = 127.0.0.1 myorigin = domain.com (Replace domain.com with your domain) -Jay P.S. I haven't gotten around to setting up SMTP authentication yet.. so I can't help ya there.
