It reads mail that is already on the machine it is on.

See the man page's -f flag and the FILES & ENVIRONMENT sections.

Something else has to fetch the mail to your machine's disk,
and something has to send the outbound mail to the Internet.

See smtpd(8).

The mutt package is probably what you want. http://www.mutt.org

Or install the fdm package & have it pull mail from your ISP's POP box
onto your machine ~/mbox & then use mail(1) to read it.

You'll then need to configure OpenSMTPd to relay mail you send out
via your ISP's smart hosts to the Internet for you.


Cheers.
