What's the best free email server to put on my NAS to use the domain I have?

Hi all,

I've bought a NAS (QNAP TS-110) and I have a domain name and am in the middle of creating a website. I also want to create some @(mydomain).co.uk email addresses. What's the best (i.e. easiest and most secure) free email server software out there. I want to be able to access the emails on my BlackBerry so would need to be able to open up a POP3 / IMAP4 port too.
I've never done this before so easy to use / a good community or userguide is important.

Thanks in advance

I would be inclined to use Google Apps

free for under 50 users, hassle free

I have also done the same..
Google apps is the way to go.. Also allows Push email to your phone as well. So much easier than trying to install services and make sure your net connection is up all the time.

(Not sure the free one supports Blackberry though)

Thanks The_Max_Sti and ruffneck. I'll give that a whirl. It does say the free version doesn't support BlackBerry though but I may be able to get arround that if Google apps supports email forwarding and by spoofing the sent from email address on the BlackBerry.
