you disqualify for your own question webmail is just an interface and yes you need a web server. It might be not apache, but you must know how to configure and run web server. last but not least the mail must come from somewhere, so you need a mail backend server - usually IMAP to serve your mails and you need an SMTP server to send/receive mails. when you qualify for the 3 you may proceed, but anyway it is not for home use - I mean you can run it at home, but anyhow you need to get your mail from somewhere and send mail to somewhere and there are so many scenarios and way that it is hard to put it in few sentences. Most of the meaningful scenarios imply having a FQDN and MX record. What people also do is use imapsync to sync to local imap and server the mails. What most people use is dovecot, exim, spam and antivirus software hooked to exim and any mail client. I have also seen dbmail in use. I am trying to save you some time and point you to the fact that this is not something you setup in one day. regards
