For a simple webmail server, you just need port 80 and 443, right?  I hope
your webmail server is using HTTPS:// protocol.  =)

I would recommend the $32 D-Link DI-604 (Link below).  I've not had ANY bad
experiences with D-Link and they are nicely customizeable.  I've read that
they don't handle very high traffic loads that well, but you've indicated
this is a low-traffic application.

If you want wireless, I like the D-Link DI-624 or the Netgear product.

After my poor experiences with Linksys, I'll NEVER by that brand again.
