Those are not compiled into the kernel. What Linux do you have, and how
did you install it. All of the installs I have seen install some email
client such as Mozilla Email client (POP3/IMAP) and ALL unix environments
have 'mail' (from the command line type: man mail)

If you have a web server running - you can always search for PHP POP3 MAIL
and come up with something like:
