I'm not sure if you're talking about MTA (server) or MUA (client)
here. If you're looking for a server I would suggest exim or
postfix. Sendmail is the default that is installed, and while it is
many things, simple is not one of them.

Both exim and postfix can be installed from ports, and I would advise
that you use mailwrapper (/etc/mail/mailed.conf) to configure your
system to use a different mailer than sendmail.

If you're talking about a mail client, I would suggest evolution for a
GUI based mail client or Pine for text based. These are both fairly
simple and you should have no problems.

HTH,
