Yes, that is because you need _some_ program at least for local mail

Fetchmail
To get your mail from a pop3 account create a .fetchmailrc in your home

on the following system?:
-One mashine, connected tmp. to the internet
-one user with only one email adress and
who likes to have his incoming mail sorted as:
+one inbox for each subscribed maillist
+one inbox for all the other mail
