Hi, I hacked up a quick perl script to show sender and subject of the 5 most recent mails on a POP account in a scroller via mythtvosd. It's not perfect, but it does the job for me. (I have it running as a cron job every 5 minutes - it remembers which messages it has already checked.) It shouldn't do any damage - there aren't any functions that attempt to delete any mail, and I've been running it without a hitch for the last few days, but YMMV. (It does create - and occasionally delete - a file called .uidl.txt in its user's home folder. Make sure that beavior diesn't conflict with any other software you're running.)
It needs the Mail::POP3Client and MIME::WordDecoder perl modules to function properly and will usually only try to check mail if it detects mythfrontend showing TV or a recording, although that can be overridden if you want to run it on a dedicated backend. Feel free to modify the attached script to suit your needs. Jens
