Hi Les,
thanks for this explanation, you have described very well what 
NethServer is :-) in this case you can install a pre-configured and 
tested mailserver (postifix + dovecot +amavis) with a simple:
# yum install nethserver-mail-server
(see 
http://dev.nethserver.org/projects/nethserver/wiki/Nethserver-mail-server)
I use this with my Thunderbird, no problem in terms of reliability and 
searchability.
