I love the idea, but there are two main ways of doing this...
A. Email Piping, which most ISP's don't give you access to your aliases.db (not to mention some users, like myself, don't host their email on the server where their site is hosted).
B. POPMail Reader, it'd be more difficult than just reading the data in, however it'd be compatible with just about any webhost that allows you email (including us weirdo's who host our email with outside servers to ensure stability)
Would love to see a "B" option down the road by someone though
