I just got all this going so it is fresh in my mind.
Install exim for an mta
Install procmail
Install fetchmail
Install mutt
fetchmail gets mail, hands it to exim.
exim checks for a ~/.procmailrc file and if it exists, hands mail to procmail
procmail sorts mail into mboxs in ~/Mail
It was painless and quick to set up.
