Sendmail automatically picks up on e-mails being sent to an account on your
machine (unless you have a dynamic IP, in which case things are handled a
little bit differently).  All you have to do is make sure that sendmail is
running, by typing '/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail status' at the command line
as root.  You do not use sendmail to check for new e-mail.  It is used to
'transport' e-mail from one location (domain) to another (much as one uses
a car to get to and from work, but not to do work).

Typically, when you login, it will tell you that you have new e-mail.  The
other way of course, is to check it via an e-mail client (such as Eudora,
Outlook, pine, mutt, etc) depending on where you are checking it from.
You'll read it from directly within the e-mail client -- how depends on
which one you use.

There is no server called PAP -- you have a choice of either POP or IMAP.
To check to see if it is installed, do an 'rpm -q imap' from the command
line.  If it is, then pop3 and imap are available, although you may have to
enable them from within the services configuration menu.
