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!
