I think you did fine with the package selection, although I for some reason
thought there was supposed to be a way to use aptitude to select the packages
instead of using tasksel and selecting mail server and the like.

As for the mail client, I recommend Mutt.  It is very powerful, but is also
fairly easy for a beginner to use with minimal or no configuration while
learning how to use it.  You will probably want to tailor it to your needs
later, but it will get the mail from your local mailbox and allow you to read it
without having to do any configuration.

As for docs, there is plenty of Debian related information on debian.org in the
documentation section.  For general Linux info as well as help with specific
software, the Linux documentation project at tldp.org and linuxquestions.org are
good places to get help and information.

HTH,
Lorenzo
