Email setup for beginners?
I'm pretty new to the whole Linux thing, so bear with me.
I got my Linode yesterday and figured out how to setup the LAMP thing pretty easily. So I was pretty excited about the whole thing. I could make websites, yay!
But now I am completely stuck on trying to set up email. I followed the instructions here: http://library.linode.com/email-guides/
That went pretty well, I have the Citadel web-interface up an running. But now what? I can't make heads or tails of the thing.
There are "rooms" and "floors" in there. What the..? I just want to set up email addresses for my domains!
Do I move on to step 2: Postfix guides?
I can't really figure out wether Postfix is something I ALSO need to install or just another way of doing the same as I've already done by installing Citadel… And frankly - the mile-long instruction in the Postfix guides page scares me a bit.
Especially since I've already installed MYSQL during the LAMP tutorial, so I don't really know how to start the Postfix tutorial.
So, to cut to the chase: I just want to set up emails for my domains. Where do I go from here?

I'm sure Citadel is pretty simple once you figure it out, but I took BarkerJr's advice and went with Google. Now that was easy.
