Sean,

I am a newbie mail admin.  I setup postfix and courier-imap.  Postfix was cake 
and courier-imap took more doing simply because I wanted virtual accounts and 
shared folders.  Out-of-the-box for courier imap is relatively simple.

I'll recommend the book 'Postfix' by Richard Blum.  It's worth the $40 and 
saved me a lot of trouble.  ISBN: 0672321149

I'm happy with both programs after 3 months of use.
