I don't think you understand the situation.  The POP3 server is running 
on the Linux box.  And whether it's running as root or not has nothing 
to do with the security (or lack thereof) of the Mozilla that's running 
on the Windows box and fetching mail from the POP3 server.  Nor does it 
matter what's in the email or which user's mbox it came from.
