What have you tried, and what isn't working? If you have an Internet connection and a properly configured mail server (the latter is probably the big if), and know how to use a mail client such as mutt or Thunderbird, you wouldn't be asking this question, but we can't really tell which of these is the problem. Would you care to elaborate your question?
Perhaps you could answer the questions above. Are you familiar with mailx or mutt et al? Do you require Internet mail or just the capability for one user of the system to send messages to another user of the same system? (I guess on Linux you easily get Internet mail as part of the bargain, but if you don't configure it right, it won't work, and you'll be restricted to local mail only in practice.)

mailusradm(8) System Manager's Manual mailusradm(8)
NAME
mailusradm - Administer User Mail
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/sysman mailusradm [-ui cui [cuioptions] | gui [x resources]]
OPTIONS
Specifies the user interface to be invoked. The choices are: Invokes the command line interface. Invokes the graphical user interface.
Specific command line options that will be used to interact. Specifies the standard X11 resource options. For more information, see the
X(1X) reference page
DESCRIPTION
The Mail User Administration application is used by the system administrator to administer the mail system. Specifically, the mail adminis-
trator can change the mail service type of a single user, a group of users, or all the users on a local system. The mail administrator can
also delete defunct mail user accounts.
The mail service types are: Local Mail Post Office Protocol (POP), which is designed to allow single user computers to retrieve electronic
mail from a POP server. The POP server might be a computer with a permanent Internet connection where its clients might connect to it only
occasionally. Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), which is a protocol that allows a client to access and manipulate electronic mail
messages on a server. IMAP allows the manipulation of remote message folders known as mailboxes. IMAP has operations for creating, delet-
ing, and renaming mailboxes; for checking for new messages; for permanently removing messages; for searching; and for selective fetching of
message attributes, text, and other portions. It does not specify a means of posting mail; a mail transfer protocol, such as SMTP, handles
this function.
Furthermore, the mail administrator can specify the use of mail passwords on users under POP and IMAP.
mailusradm has two user interface options: Graphical user interface (GUI) Command line interface (CUI)
Running the Graphical User Interface Option:
The mailusradm application can be invoked from:
The CDE Application Manager Application Group: System_Admin Desktop_Apps Subgroup: Configuration
To start mailusradm from the command line, enter: /usr/sbin/sysman mailusradm -gui
Running the Command Line Interface Option:
To start the mailusradm command line interface, enter the following command from the terminal: /usr/sbin/sysman mailusradm -ui cui [cuiop-
tions]
