MY best suggestion is to use the PHP IMap/POP functions. It's pretty simply to do this (until you get into attachments. If you are just looking for a webmail package to host on your server to allow reading your local mailbox check out http://ilohamail.org/main.php?page=Downloads Though it does not user most of the PHP mail functions. The author chose to use raw socket calls which makes the app very fast. You can also use this to read remote mail. For instance on my server I have my local domain account mail but I can also read in my Yahoo mail via POP3.
