Is there any reason that you are not able to tunnel the mail itself 
across SSH (i.e. port forwarding) so that your choice of e-mail client 
is not limited?

I don't know what your setup is that requires you read the mail 
remotely, but my guess is that you are using an offline protocol (i.e. 
POP) rather than an online protocol (i.e. IMAP).  If this is the case, 
then your best bet would be to set up a mail server, but this might 
require more effort than you are willing to devote.

It might also be the case that you simply don't want to have multiple 
clients each with their own configuration.  This is understandable, but 
it is also not a problem if you use the same client (i.e. copy the 
config files over).  Again, though, this may not be an option if you 
don't use Linux at work.

Oh, well.  Just thought I would throw out a few suggestions in case it 
might help.
