I understand that it is difficult to self host email and I am looking
for a partial solution.

What I want to do is keep my mail applications sending mail through
the providers I use but have my own system fetch the mail, filter it
then point my mail software to my server to access the mail.

What is the simplest solution for that?

So I can sign up with them provide my account credentials for my
exising accounts. Have it pull in all my mail. Adjust  Thunderbird to
look at them for my IMAP mail and keep sending through my existing
host?

I have a cPanel VPS with minimal specs as the inbox and SMTP sender,
has all the required domain keys, etc, etc, so it just works.
Then home server pulls mail off of it every minute using fdm (fetch
and deliver mail) so all our mail lives on home server. Then dovecot
and webmail to serve out to all the users.

This sounds like what I need. I have my personal domain hosted on a
provider that offers cPanel. I am the only user and I can setup a
cloud flare tunnel to access my home
