Setting up mail server on ubuntu


Hello to all,
Basically i have ubuntu running in a virtual machine on which i want mail server services. Postfix,dovecot all exist but i have been having a hard time setting them up since there was also Mysql. Virtual Mailbox doesnt really do it for neither does mysql for the virtual users.
So what i need to know is what can i do(any other softwares to install?change config files?) to set up a mail server that:
1) stores mails locally and not in a virtual mailbox
2) add users easily (add users in UNIX so that they can be used for mail)

I have no idea how mysql works so i did not want to use virtual mail boxes and all that. Thanks alot everyone!
