Suggestions for long term email storage
Eventually I will set up Dovecot as a local IMAP server, pointing to that Maildir. When I've done this before, I've set up a self-signed certificate so Apple Mail wouldn't complain.

You might want to use dovecot for this if I understandyou correctly

How to set up an outgoing mail server?
If you really want to try it (and keep it up to date for security fixes, check and handle any relay issues or possible spam attackers) then look at Dovecot or Kerio

The easiest way to fetch mail and serve it with IMAP on my LAN?
An IMAP server. I have a strong preference for dovecot for this.

Mail-Client with Web Interface
I'd do it with a local IMAP server in conjunction with a webmail client that connects to it. Dovecot is a fantastic and easy to use IMAP server. Webmail clients are a pretty personal thing, but the last time I used Roundcube it seemed pretty good.

Mailserver
For the record, I'm using dovecot (https://www.dovecot.org/) for IMAP and Haraka (https://haraka.github.io/) for SMTP.

Separating the email server
self hosting mail is always a pain and can take up a lot of support time and you really need to know your stuff. I always use Plesk witch configures Dovecot. But if there is anyway you can push them to use an external service you should do that.

Mail server
I run a mail server on DigitalOcean for a few domains using a fairly standard FreeBSD setup running dovecot and postfix. If you're set up your preferred stack on another hosting provider before, you're aware of all the pitfalls:

Lua: The Little Language That Could
lua on its own right can be fun too! If you are looking for a project to contribute to, there's for instance the Prosody XMPP server that's written in it, and contributes to the betterment of internet by promoting federated protocols.
There's also the http://prosody.im/ XMPP server that's written in Lua, and it's very successful there. The other major XMPP server implementation is in Erlang and they are equally praised, so that should tell something about Lua's versatility.

A History of Lua
You can write largish standalone application in Lua and it is not always a poor choice - Prosody [1] first comes to mind. But qualities which make it a good embedded language make it less _attractive_ for other uses.
Lua has very simple syntax and small stdlib which allows its implementation to be very small - you can add Lua to your application and not increase its size significantly. But when the size is not a concern most programmers prefer languages with rich, powerful syntax lots of features and batteries-included stdlib (which is completely opposite of Lua).

Chat app to allow messaging between my daughter and I?
If you are really set on a LAN-only setup you could look at Prosody (combined with an Android app such as Conversations) which Snikket is based upon. It's not as "ready to go, out of the box" as Snikket and therefore requires a slightly higher skill level, but in exchange it is a lot more customizable and adaptable to different kinds of deployment scenarios.

Ask HN: What is your recommended stack for real time chat?
My choice, because it's the stack I know very well, would be Prosody ( https://prosody.im/ - I'm one of the devs) and a web client such as Converse.js ( https://conversejs.org/ ). XMPP is highly extensible, Prosody is highly modular, which make them a good foundation for building on top of.
That said, the right stack is generally the one that matches your requirements, and (if this isn't primarily a learning exercise) whatever you're most familiar with. The hardest part of building a Discord or Slack-like in 2022 is actually not the technical stuff. There are many comprehensive open-source products already out there that compete with these companies, such as Mattermost, RocketChat and Element.
