I think what you want is "Movemail".
Try Edit->Account Settings->Add Account  to get the new account window.
Choose "Movemail" from the list and continue the configuration with your 
name, account, other settings.
When you "Get Mail" it should look in /var/spool/mail on your system 
(localhost) for your mail file.
