   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.
