Call me crazy, but why can't you use mutt for all your mail and have all
the mail centralized in one ssh'able location? 8)

Darxus and mct taught me this a while back and I can't imagine a better
way.

If its because you can't get pics/docs/html encoded mail and that's
absolutly necessary for survival that's a good answer. Although I
usually save those attachments to a htaccess'd directory where I can
then view those attachments from a web browser.

If its because of corporate policy, then that's another good answer as
well. Although this list isn't corporate property.
