Have you tried Netmail Pro? You can get it at
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/nettamer/netmail.zip
I'm not sure but probably you can get it also at
http://www.nettamer.net
Advantages:
1 - Easy to setup and run.
2 - You only have to configure netmail.ini file.
3 - It's very fast and reliable.
You'll also need a text editor to write (and read) emails.
Disadvantages:
1 - Incoming mails are numbered as mailxxxx.in in increasing order.
Xxxx is a hexadecimal order, so you can't have a list of subject
titles of incoming mails, unless you do it manually with a text
editor.
2 - Outgoing mails a stored in a file called ccmail.out, so again,
you can't have a subject title database.
If you need any more help just drop me a line.
Have fun!

P.S.: you can use also Nettamer ver.1.11.2 for 386+, available at the
same sites above mentioned. Nettamer keeps track of incoming and
outgoing mails in a database.
