You need a IMAP or POP server to be running on the computer where the Unix mailboxes reside. The server must be configured to allow access to the required directory paths, obviously.
If it's a one-shot job, you might want to avoid installing anything permanently. Some really simple POP server can probably be run right from the user's home directory on a non-standard port number. I hear there's a simple POP server available for Python; I would imagine the IMAP and POP libraries available for Python and Perl would come with a simple proof-of-concept server implementation which is probably good enough for this.
