Just recently, last weekend, I decided to jump into mailhandling also. 
After searching the internet I decided for postfix. Basically I wanted the 
same as you. What made me decide for postfix in the end was, that I 
understood it was easier to set-up. Actually it was really quit easy.
I only decided not to use maildir, because my e-mail reader doesn't support 
it, and I didn't want an additional program to translate maildir to IMAP.
I made the following set-up: postfix as my MTA, fetchmail to fetch my mail 
and Kmail as my mail reader. It is working fantastic.

Groeten,

Simon Siemosma
