No, on my other machines I just read my email on the imap server of my 
ISP with alpine.

Thanks, but I think my ISP should be able to do that. All other machines 
here have a mailserver running (Sendmail, Postfix) and all was needed is 
pointing it to the smarthost, which is the smtp server of the ISP.
