This sounds like something you could do fairly easily with a little
bit of php coding. It works well with presenting file input into html,
and integrates neatly into Apache as well. I haven't done much with the
mbox file itself, but it should just be a file read and output into html
with a bit of specific parsing. Give php a look if you like. Easy to
pick up if you've ever coded at all. :) If you feel the need, php can
manage to connect to the pop3 port as well. Hope this helps.
