IIRC, you can use KMail or Evolution to do this by simply configuring
them to read the local mail spool in /var/spool/mail/$user.  For other
gui mail programs that don't have such a config option you could
install a pop or imap daemon and then tell the program that your mail
was on localhost (or whatever name you've given to your system).

Several packages provide pop and imap daemons, dovecot, cyrus-imapd,
and uw-imap all come to mind.

For non-gui but much better than the mail command, mutt is worth
checking out.
