Here's my setup:

- fetchmail connects periodically to various POP3 hosts and
  collects my mail.  It sends them to my local sendmail
  (localhost, port 25).  (I don't know how to configure
  sendmail, but for this task the default settings are
  perfect)
- sendmail, I think, sees that I have a ~/.procmailrc, and
  therefore feeds my mail to procmail, (instead of putting
  it in /var/spool, I think)
- procmail (.procmailrc) has a couple of rules ('recipies')
  where I filter my mail into various folders: mail/inbox,
  mail/spam, lists/linux-il, etc, etc.

So far for the mail retrieval. This put all email in nice
mbox folders, just where I want them. Now as for the mail
client (MUA) I use only mutt to view my mailboxes, but I
could use more than one mail client if I wanted to, as long
as it understands mbox.
