Sendmail is the default that is installed, and while it is many things, simple is not one of them. Both exim and postfix can be installed from ports, and I would advise that you use mailwrapper (/etc/mail/mailed.conf) to configure your system to use a different mailer than sendmail. If you're talking about a mail client, I would suggest evolution for a GUI based mail client or Pine for text based. These are both fairly simple and you should have no problems.
