If he's administering this thing via webmin, or has clients using squirrelmail, he needs Apache, because those packages sort of depend on Apache. The Samba stuff isn't insanely relevant, and he said as much.
postfix, qpopper, and ... huh? Did you mean "MUA"? (A Mail User Agent is a program like mutt or kmail that users use to compose, send, and receive mail.) postfix is an MTA, so it can send and receive things over SMTP. You can use exim or sendmail or qmail instead of postfix if you like. postfix was easy to configure and seems to work well, so that's what I use at home.
You'll probably want inetd or xinetd as well, since qpopper is usually started from inetd. (Hysterical Raisins? You can start qpopper without inetd, after all.) apt definitely has a "search" option in it; you should be able to do something like "apt-cache search SMTP" and find all the SMTP servers.

An MTA, qpopper, and whatever MUA you feel comfortable with for testing purposes. Whichever MTA you end up installing, make sure it's not an open relay! Use POP-before-SMTP or SMTP AUTH or something, so those goat-felching spammers don't abuse your machine.
