If the role an IMAP server plays in a complete email system is
unclear for the OP, I doubt the choice of IMAP server software
makes any difference whatsoever.
Like many people before me, I must advise the OP to, quite frankly,
get a clue before continuing his/her mission. The questions asked
have been on a very very basic level and would be answered by reading
relevant documentation and/or a book that covers general questions
about email servers. One such book is _Linux Email: Set up and Run
a Small Office Email Server_:
http://linuxemailbook.packtpub.com/
I am one of the authors and I haven't read the finished book myself,
so I'm not in a position to either recommend it nor ask people to
refrain from buying it. However, it does cover most of the topics
that the OP wants to implement. A book that only covers Postfix
(such as Dent or Hildebrandt/Koetter) would be a good complement.
