How small is small? That will be the single biggest issue in deciding just what you need. Honestly, all the multiply-redundant backend stuff and virtual-machine-migration and hyper-scalable backends sound seriously overkill for most of what I'd consider "small." That aside, I'd strongly suggest against dovecot for your mail service. It doesn't seem to scale all that well, in my (admittedly limited) experience. Cyrus and Courier both can be set up to use MySQL for most of the backend stuff; MySQL replication and maybe a front-end load-balancer of some sort should get you more redundancy than you'll ever need (unless you're dealing with really strict SLAs, et cetera).
