Depending on what you want to do exactly, depends on what I personally would recommend.
uw = generally considered messy and horrible.. but its small and fairly quick
courier = also fairly powerful, can be configured to use a MySQL user database (as I have done a few times now) and has a nice web config gui.
dovecot = imap and pop3 (does ssl too) in one, any of the above can be turned on and off..
Of each of them I would recommend either of the latter two.. courier has an easily maintainable SMTP/POP3/IMAP etc.. service, but may be overkill. Dovecot (which is in portage) is probably what I would recommend.. quick and easy to deploy, lightweight and fairly sensable
