Just choose the SASL, DB3, PCRE. These should give you the basic postfix functionality. Access method is different from mail service. Postfix only does smtp and you would need a client to access the mail. If you setup local users on the box, then you would need to use things such as mail, mailx, elm, pine, etc. The first couple usually are built-in with various flavors of Unix, the latter ones, you have to install them from the ports. So 2 pieces to your puzzle, mail server which is going to be postfix and accessing the mailbox which is pine or... Installation is just the beginning. Once you embark on configuring, you should have a clear idea what pieces you want and what piece you don't. My suggestion is look into security, spam, mail relay at the minimum. Good luck.
