First of all, sendmail has nothing to do with e-mail composing or
retrieving, it implementents a protocol known as SMTP and its purpose is
moslty about e-mail delivery and the "path" it has to take. On the other
hand, e-mails retrieving is done using another protocols like POP3 or
IMAP and James server provides both of them. Have a look at the
following documents:

POP3: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1939.txt
IMAP: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2060.txt
SMTP: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt
