My opinion: this is doomed.  

        Put everything on Godaddy and let them deal with it, unless
        email is a hobby for you. 
        Then access it from everywhere/anywhere.   Evolution on Linux,
        IMAP on smart phones and tablets. 

I used to run a postfix server until I realized it was driving me
crazy.
