  Yes, but this doesn't have anything to do with your MTA ( Sendmail 
  in this case ), but your MUA ( Mail User Agent ).  Such as Netscape
  Mail, Evolution, mutt, Pine, etc. 

  On most installations Sendmail will defaultly put your E-mail in: 
    /var/spool/mail/ismgr

  And most E-mail clients will look for it there defaultly, shouldn't
  require any configuration on your part.
