There's webmin but the best way to configure your web server is to just configure the config file it uses and the same goes for a mail server, all depends on which one your using as well.
for initail stage how one can remember all the syntax of configuring different types of server.
You can't, noone can, keep the manual handy and read the comments. Or even better find a tutorial on the net then work through it.

for intial stage gui is best to learn or not??
If you're interested in learning how everything works then no, you're better off putting more effort into reading the docs and edit the configuration file by hand. Otherwise if you just want to get the service up and running quickly with common settings then the GUI is good.
