Its pretty hard to know until you do it.. depends on alot of things.. how many clients you have, how often they check, how much emails they get etc etc.
The biggest factor is the mysql database. Looking at your hardware and number of users etc, I think your machine should handle it ok. Just make sure you have plenty of RAM for mysql (so it doesn't start to go into swap)(and DMA is turned on on the hdds). Also make sure the File system you are using can handle very large files and is journeled (ie XFS) and you use innodb databases (transactional database support). (If you don't then you'll have a VERY LONG time in trying to fix your databases if the machine crashes ever).
