Re: mail and Mail...

CLI mail doesn't provide any server services, it's just a client like Apple Mail. You couldn't even begin to get this to work without setting up a POP server on localhost. I did this once a long time ago with a third-party package, but I'm no longer set up that way. You might be able to make this work with Apple Server. If all you want to do is fetch whatever is in local  mailboxes, you wouldn't need an SMTP server.
