Assuming you have the standard mail setup:

You need to get a POP client to read your mail off of your mail server and
onto your local box.  Netscape's Mail component can do this.  The programs
`popclient' and `fetchmail' can grab mail off of your POP server and put
it into your local mail spool; they are in the ports tree in the mail
category (Http://www.freebsd.org/ports/mail.html).
