There are several sides to mail delivery on a linux system:
1) mail transport (send mail from one computer to another)
a) use exim for remote mail delivery using your isp's SMTP server
to do the real delivery for you
[here you need to know:
the name of your ips's SMTP server
the email address you want on your outgoing mail
]
b) use fetchmail to retrieve your mail from your ips's POP server
[here you need to know:
the name of your ips's POP server
your user name and passwd for your (pop) account at your isp
your user name at your local computer
]
2) mail delivery (put mail for each user in his own mailbox on the local host)
a) use exim, or
b) use procmail if you want to sort the mail or filter or..
3) mail reading/writing/filing
a) use netscape if you're used to it, but better
b) switch to mutt (or any other mail client on linux)

tell us which question you had problems with and we will help you get
the right anwsers to eximconfig's questions. I think this will be more
fruitfull then trying to figure out what part of someone-else's config
file applies to your case.
