In ten minutes then I would suggest grab rpms from 
ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/rpms-for-exim/ or if using Debian then Exim is 
standard.

The exim.conf file is very well commented.

If using uw imap which is default on Red Hat then "chkconfig  imap on" 
and "chkconfig pop3 on" will enable imap and pop3 mail for all users.

You might also want to have a look at dovecot imap server which is now 
available in Fedora amongst other places.

There are a lot of places that document in great detail how to set up 
very efficient spam filtering with exim: http://duncanthrax.net/exiscan-acl/

If you need any specific help then please do ask off list :-)

Kind regards
Xander
