RMAIL is the default Emacs mail reader, but it doesn't grok MIME.
There is rmime.el by Ray Moody for reading MIME.

I think that MH-E has MIME support, but I don't know any details.
MH-E comes with Emacs.

Gnus comes with Emacs, it also allows you to read mail, and it
supports MIME.  The catch here is that Gnus behaves in a newsreaderly
fashion which is unusual for a mail reader, and also it's not that
simple to set up.

Then there is VM.  It does not come with Emacs.  It's the default
XEmacs mail reader.  It supports MIME.  There was a time when VM was
not supported on Emacs, but this has changed I think.
