Simpler than that.

After retrieving the mail to machine #1's IMAP server, machines #2-#5 (or any 
othe machine you may want to use) can just read the mail through whatever 
client you want by pointing to that IMAP server.  No ssh or screen sessions 
needed.

The hard part is setting up the IMAP server on machine #1.
