(Thanks!)  Such as what?

So far I'm not planning on using IMAP.  This is just for personal mail
and I prefer the whole thing to be local, so POP3 should be enough to
bring my mail to my personal computer and then I can manage it here.

And I also don't want to plan to run Postfix.  I am actually fond of
qmail, but I decided to run the legend once again to (this time) really
learn how it works and celebrate what a great software it has always
been.
