The default email server is EXIM.
If it is configured there is no need to touch it.
If you want to have email accounts on server just create new users (type "adduser" while logged as root) and they can have mail on this server.
If they want to fetch mail from server via POP3 service you will need pop3daemon:
- maybe you have one: type "telnet 110" in command line ( - replace it with name of your server)
- if you get anwser: "connection refused":
type "dselect" (as root)
choose "Select"
type /ipop
and press "+", when it finds pop3 daemon
next press
select Install

greetings,
Wojtek
