postfix is a smtp server, so it's used to send emails.
If you want to retrieve mail from CLI, then you must know the protocol used by your mail server. It could be pop, or imap, so you have to telnet to port 110 or 143 respectively. Take a look here for the pop commands and here for the imap commands.
