I haven't used it myself, but there's a POP3 daemon associated with
Dan Bernstein's qmail system.  Since qmail wants to store messages
in $HOME by default, it seems likely that the pop daemon will know
how to get at them.

To the others who have mentioned that there are dangers associated
with such a configuration: what are they?  Dan's arguments in favour
of the arrangement seemed pretty convincing to me.
