There are whole books on this.  It depends on what you want to 
accomplish.

sendmail is a Mail Transfer Agent, a system program that deals with 
transferring messages to and from other systems.

It sounds like you are looking for an MUA, a Mail User Agent.  This is 
the program that the end user runs to read and write mail messages. 
Pine and mutt are common examples.

Again, a function of the MUA.  Usually the first thing an MUA does is to 
show you new mail.
