To get mail just use sudo apt-get install mailx and mailutilmailx is pretty ancient software, but is still usable. I would not at
this time recommend it for the casual mail user.
necessary if you want things like cron to deliver mail for you

I am running gutsy, so your mileage may vary. Searching the Ubuntu forums I
found this http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/networking/exim.html -- I took
the plunge apt-get install mailx and got exim an some other stuff. As root I
sent an email message to myself on my laptop. No configuration of exim was
needed. I set up kmail for a local acount, took the defaults except I
determined that FCNTL locking is what is needed. I then retrieved the email I
sent myself as root. Best of all, I did nothing to exim for local delivery -
it worked out of the box.
Next step will be to send mail off the computer using one of my gmail
accounts.
not work. I can look around and see if the config exists but $locate
eximconf finds nothing. So versions change. As for sending and receiving
email my stuff works fine between user and root. On my new Hardy there
was no /var/spool/karl but it made one when there was mail.
