Is there a way to retrieve my mails by a process and that I can read then with different software (evolution, mutt, or balsa)????

thanks

Check out fetchmail - easy to use; it basically goes out, downloads your mail from a POP or IMAP server to your machine, where you can read it with whatever you want.

It's in portage. (emerge fetchmail)

I use it all the time.

You really won't need one; just look at the man page for it. It's not anywhere near the complexity of something like sendmail.
