Some e-mail links for your research.

Common e-mail tools:
sendmail (http://www.sendmail.net/) - postfix (http://www.postfix.org/) - sends mail to local users (and internet when configured correctly)
fetchmail (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/) - gets mail from internet pop accounts
procmail (http://www.procmail.org/) - sorts and delivers into separate mailboxes
mutt (http://www.mutt.org/) - mail client that sucks less than all the others
Email the Linux Way (http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/index.html#mtuw)
