Yep, that is indeed correct. Postfix provides SMTP services and qpopper POP3.
The only complication comes if your ISP doesn't deliver mail by SMTP but rather
expects you to collect it via POP3, then you would have to add fetchmail to the
mix. However if I remember your original description correctly, that isn't an
issue in your case.

I did forget to mention however that all of these are available as ports
(/usr/ports/mail if you have the ports tree installed), which at least makes
installation a breeze.
