I'm not sure if you're talking about MTA (server) or MUA (client) here. If you're looking for a server I would suggest exim or postfix. 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.
