  You may also wish to evaluate Sendmail and Exim. Both are considered by many
to also be robust and flexible. Pop and Imap daemons will be more dependant on
which MTA you choose, and how you store your mailboxes.

  One paper you might want to read is available at:
http://www.horde.org/papers/Scalable_webmail_HOWTO.php
Although I have not followed the recipe to create a webmail system, the ideas
and software described seem sound, and the system seems believably scalable.
