There are several ways to do what you want.

1. Buy TCP/Connect II, it contains a POP/SMTP mailer, as well as telnet, FTP, NNTP, SNMP, SLIP, etc...

2. Get Eudora (Public Domain) and set it up, it allows a Mac to recieve SMTP mail.

3. Get QuickMail or MicrosoftMail and one of the X to SMTP gateways that are available.

4. There are a couple of other PD packages out there, but for the life of me I can't remember them.  But I am sure that someone will post what they are.  MacPost comes to mind, and MEWS...

Hope that helps.
