There's a pine for DOS-only, here's a reference to it that uses WAT-TCP for
Dos, here:
http://www.smashco.com/wattcp.asp
towards the bottom... includes other server & client software for DOS.
Here is a reference for Elm for PC (MSDOS) Version 2.3 about 1/2 way down
the page:

Pegasus has a version for DOS:

Here's a clip of their sys. requirements:
Pegasus Mail for DOS - system requirements
* Any version of MS-DOS or PC-DOS v5.0 or later, Windows 3.x, 95, 98, NT or
2000
* 2MB disk space, plus whatever is required for mail storage
* 520KB available DOS RAM at the time the program is run

Here's a page about setting up a DOS client for email with Dialup PPP:

Dunno how good it is, I just found it and cut&pasted...

P.S. Here's a link to the Google search I used:
http://www.google.com/search?q=msdos+tcpip+mail+client&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
The keywords were -> msdos tcpip mail client <- ;-)
