Sendmail and exim are both mail transport agents (mtas), so you use either sendmail, the oldest mta or exim, which is easyer to set up. There is another mta which is popular called postfix. As suggested before, use exim. there is a link to the exim binary called sendmail, so you can just leave your alpine config to refer to sendmail and exim will be used. You are correct in that you can have fetchmail poll different pop servers for different users from the same configuration file, but I really suggest that you first get one account working properly before starting to mess with extra ones. You will never use sendmail and exim both on the same machine, they do the same job.
