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.
