Sendmail is actually a mail server, or MTA (Mail Transport Agent). If you want to just send/receive mail to and from your ISP, you'll want to use a mail client, or MUA (Mail User Agent) such as Pine, Mutt, Spruce, KMail, etc. These can be configured to accept mail from your local MTA or from your ISP's POP/IMAP server. If you must install a mail server on your box, I'd suggest exim (http://www.exim.org) or postfix (http://www.postfix.org). Both are much easier to configure than Sendmail, more secure in some ways, and have less overhead when you dont really need the power of traditional Sendmail. Your distro should have packages readily available for all the clients and servers I've mentioned, or you can simply grab the source and compile it yerself. Luck!
