Please try

for an overview and tell me what could be improved in the text.
One thing I found myself: The mail is kept in mailboxes, which are
either files (mbox format) or directories (Maildir format) on your
hard disk. These are fed by the MDA (step 3) and read by the MUA (step
4). (A different and probably better way to handle this would be an
IMAP server.)

No problem, I've seen worse. Just set Fetchmail up to collect from the
three accounts and configure the MTA to deliver to the outgoing
server. I would recommend Postfix instead of Sendmail. I used SuSE's
setup for a start, but switched it off after a while.
