ubuntu

I've been tasked with hosting our own inhouse mail server

1) i need to have web mail access , imap 2) it needs to be as cheap as possible

i already have an ubuntu server that we use for our samba drives and so far have been very happy with it

I am not apposed to building out another box for a dedicated email server but I'm not familiar enough with Linux or mail hosting programs to even know where to start.
