I'm new with servers etc, and I'd like to set up my own mailserver, which software do I need and what exactly do I have to configure?
Also, I'd like to set up an apache server, I have apache, though I don't understand how I have to set it up.. I don't think that's very difficult, but I just don't understand how I have to let it work..

I suggest reading some books would help. It is not that easy to setup a server and specially a mail server. But yes it is comparatively easier with apache if you know what you are doing as compared to win 2000.
Go to www.apache.org (http://www.apache.org) and you will find the info that you need. then go to postfix.com and then to eudora.com/qpopper. These are all the things that you need.Read and try it out and then ask more specific questions.

If you want to do this the easy way the suse email servere does both in one installation run. I am also a "neubie to linux" and had it up and running in less than a day.
The tweeking and fine tuning is still going on 3 weeks later. SSL, backup, etc...

For mailservers, you probably already have sendmail installed. I'd recommend replacing it with something more secure and easier to configure like Postfix: http://www.postfix.org

get Exim www.exim.org (http://www.exim.org) and Cyrus (search in google or rpmfind)
It's a breeze to set up those together to come up with a cool complete mail server.

are cyrus&exim 2 different programs which do the same or does each have another purpose?
