Have a look at alpine or mutt- they are quite powerful.

another one might be useful - SendEmail

i seen mutt, sentmail both can sent mail , but i dont know were to give (smtp username ,passwd,ip,portno) of the mailserver .




thanks

mutt needs to have an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) - it can be sendmail (google for tutorials on setting up sendmail) or any other MTA. sSMTP is an example of an MTA which is much easier to configure.
