Although I don't do this any more (relying instead on gnus agent), I did
have a setup similar to what you are describing. My approach was to use
fetchmail with mailfilter/maildrop to download emails from various
sources and place them all in a number of maildir folders. These were
then read using gnus or mutt or wl or ...
The different machines I had were kept in sync using unison so there was
no single main system -- they (office, home, laptop) were all identical.
This worked very well; I moved to IMAP with gnus agent when gnus IMAP
support improved so dramatically in the past 6 months! (Thanks Lars et
al.)
