receiving emial



hi list:
 
i am wanting to become for familiar w/ the mailing system of linux
 
if i have a ip address as follows:
 
62.234.24.5, can i reveive mail via    root@62.234.24.5 or user@62.234.24.5
 
if so, where does the mail go to?  or do i need to set up exim or fetchmail to retreive the mail, but actually the mail should come locally right?
 
i am asking because i am trying to set up the internel e-mail client of KDE
and when i attempt to set up a local account it request which location the mail is in
 
the default is:  /var/spool/mail  
but always remains empty and the mail client can't open the file.......
 
any quick tips would be lovely
