If you mean using a POP3 mailer that comes with the browser, just install (or
enable, if it's already installed) the POP3 daemon that comes with almost every
distro.  If you don't have one with yours, I'm sure there are a bunch that can be
found on Freshmeat.

If you mean getting a WWW interface to the mail spool on the Linux box, there
are a bunch of packages to do that too, one of which was already mentioned.  Of
course, you'll have to run a web server on the Linux box too.
