I need help setting up my small network of machines to receive email.

My email goes to a mailbox on the internet. I want one of my machines (the
"server") to retrieve this email and hold it in a mailbox.

I want to be able to read the email held on the server from a remote client
machine.

I am not fully sure what I am doing here, but I want to use the "mutt" mail
client on the remote machine.

I'm not sure what I need on the server, but I believe that "exim" may be one of
the packages for the job.

Do I need also need "fetchmail" on the server?

Does the remote client need any other packages? Remember I want the mail to
remain in a mailbox on the server on my LAN.
remain on the server.

How do I configure this lot ?

I would like system mail messages to be forwarded to the central server in future. How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with any of these issues.

Regards,

Mark.
