There are a lot of mail clients (as they're called) to choose from,
depending on what platform you have and whether you prefer working on the
console or in X:
Pine, Elm, Netscape Mail/Messenger, XFMail etc etc.
AFAIK you don't need a special client with qmail as it's conforming to the
RFCs and thus any client that also conforms to the RFCs should do.

syslog is a file where your UNIX system logs it's system messages or
whatever you ask it to log. It's usually found in places like /var/log/, but
to find out for sure have a look in the file /etc/syslog.conf and look for a
line which begins with "mail.*".
Your mailbox is either in ~user/Mailbox or /var/spool/mail/user or
~user/Maildir/ (the latter being a directory structure). Depends how you
configured qmail.
