It does. It is a transport protocol to transport mail from one host to
another.
I think what you're after is "How does a mail client app get the mail
from a user's mailbox?" This is (almost universally) done using the
Post Office Protocol Version 3, otherwise known as POP3, which is
defined by RFC 1939.
Have Fun!
