Unix system like Gnu/Linux and *BSD have many types of tools: GUI ones
and command-line tools. An example of some command-line email reading
tools (commonly called 'mua's -- mail user agents) is:
mutt, muttng, pine, and gnus. Lots of folks here use mutt, including me.
Although, it is very useful to learn command-line editors also like pico,
joe, vi, vim or emacs as these are used to edit your mail messages.
All debian programs include documentation in /usr/share/doc/PROGRAMNAME
and a 'man' page (like 'man mutt' for mutt info). 'man' pages are terse
and take a while to read well, so be patient. Or just ask more questions
here.
