Try mutt plus mutt's pop options to get your mail (assuming your isp supports pop) plus ssmtp to forward mail back to your isp. This works for me, and is very light-weight. None of these worked out-of-the-box, but configuration was not too difficult -- perhaps an hour of reading the relevent /usr/doc files and man pages, and fifteen minutes of editing the configuration files. Good luck.
