Take the steps one by one. Postfix is a good MTA and I'm sure it can
handle everything you need. I'm a sendmail user myself but I believe
postfix is easier to set up. For webmail, try installing squirrelmail.

You'll find quite a lot of documentation for many of the packages you've
installed in the /usr/share/doc directory; it's always worth a try
looking there.
