Not as such. There are programs that are mail transport agents (qmail,
sendmail, etc.) and there are programs that people would use to
read the mail (mail, mailx, elm, and so forth). Combining these
two distinctions doesn't seem to be happening, except maybe in
huge mail (and other) apps like Netscape.
About the most primitive of the possible mail user agents on
a Linux system would be mail/mailx.
