Not really an exim question.

Your choice of MUA should be very largely independent of your choice of
MTA. Though you do need to be concerned about whether the MUA properly
understands and respects standards. Someone recently stated on the
majordomo-users list something like:

    MS-Exchange:  As far as you can get from RFC-822 and still pretend
    to care.


    Lotus Notes:  Doesn't even pretend to care.



Anyway, you should be interested in a Mail Accesss Protocal (like POP
and IMAP) and an MUA. Popular (bloated) webbrowsers have MUAs that talk
POP3 and IMAP (very badly). So, I would recommend that you just set
up a pop3 and imap4 server. See http://www.imap.org/ for a list of
them. I use the UW imap server, the cygnus one is also popular.
