So the one i could found where

I use Mutt. Mutt is a MUA, and needs to be used in conjunction with other apps like fetchmail, and your choice of MTA (like exim, postfix and others). Procmail is a very handy mail filtering app. I was introduced to Mutt by a friend who is totally blind.

so if i understand it corectly the hole mail thingie is based on
-a mail client (mutt) -a mail sender (sendmail)
-a mail storage (postfix)
-a mail receiver (fetchmail)
Not entirly ...
Mutt, pine, elm, etc. can be made to use your ISP's smtp and pop server (for example).
If you wish to run a mailserver, you need both pop and smtp servers (assuming you don't want to use imap etc.)
Mutt, Pine, Elm, mail - are mail clients. The sending and rec. engines would be the likes of sendmail, postfix, qpopper, qmail, etc.
Fetchmail on the otherhand, is a device that pulls your mail from your ISP (for example) and brings it local.
