Gentoo completes it's install as a REALLY lean, barebones system. If you haven't install an MTA ot a POP/IMAP server, you won't have one.
It runs really fast, but if you want a feature/utility/package, you'll need to add it on after the install completes. This even includes something as simple as vi.
