If you have Windows installed on that computer, you can also access your
log files from there, for example with explore2fs (if you use
ext2/ext3). You can also redirect the output from programs to a file.
e.g.:
startx > logfile

As your X window system is not running yet, X programs like kmail,
sylpheed or mozilla-mail are not an option. mutt will work without
XFree. The easiest way to make it work should be to install it and
configure your smtp software to use your ISP's smtp server as a
smarthost. By default, Debian will install exim. Install mutt:
apt-get install mutt
and configure exim properly. Run
eximconfig
and select option (2).
