You need only 'mutt' and maybe for sending mail ssmtp.
'mutt' can connect directly to POP3 and IMAP Servers using unencryted
TLS1 or SSL1/SSL2 conectins with login/cram-md5 authentication.
For sending E-Mails you need minimal 'ssmtp' and setup it in the muttrc
with:
set sendmail="/usr/sbin/ssmtp -au <auth-user> -ap <auth-pass>"
and be happy. I use it on my Toshiba T1950CT (486dx50, 12 MB memory)
which I use for testing networks.
