As for Q-Mail, it is probably the easiest to configure for mail, as their is very
few things you can actually configure, just one of the hardest ones to
compile.
Exim is by far the easiest to configure, post compiling, not as easy to start
to compile. Some of the options that are asked for us to configure, could be
done in Autoconfigure because if the so.. doesn't exist why compile for it.
As for QPopper I had no problems with qpopper, it has configuration settings
for /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, PAM, seperate pop.auth file
