In the documentation for the specific packages which you use.

If the sendmail daemon is running, the output of `ps ax' should
contain a line similar to:
109 ? S 0:00 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25
This is started with `sendmail -bd' in your init scripts. If you have
a permanent Internet connection, or a network with multiple mail
server, you would also add something like `-q 15m' to that command.
RedHat's configuration tools may have a specific option to control
whether to run the sendmail daemon. If so, use that rather than
modifying your init scripts directly.

AFAIK, RedHat's POP3 daemon is in the IMAP package.

No.

See the linux-admin FAQ (http://www.kalug.lug.net/linux-admin-FAQ/)
for details on configuring sendmail for offline use.
