Iv'e been corresponding to someone who is Russian and doesn't speak much
English(my native tongue). When I recieve emails from that particular person
the message is mostly in the Russian language. I don't know much of the
Russian language to understand his emails and the way I have been translating
these messages is to copy and paste the body of the message and translate it
into Babelfish translation website.
Does OE6 have the capability, when recieving new mail, to translate
foreign language email messages into my language? I am running OE6 on an
XPsp2 machine.

No, it doesn't. I don't think any email program can do that.

Translation of languages requires an Artificial Intelligence engine
superior to any that currently exist. There are some such, but very
poor, called "babelfish":

Pick Alta Vista, or Yahoo!, and you will be taken to a form where you
paste the message into a box, and select the "From" language, and the
"To" language. Be careful, though; the results are anything but
accurate.

Translation is beyond the capability of any free application that you
can run on your computer. If this is a serious friendship, consider
learning the language.
