You could read the mail using one of the many IMAP or POP3 modules on CPAN and then output as RSS using either a template or one of the XML / RSS modules on cpan. I'd recommend putting a cache infront of the rss feed or writing it to a file otherwise you might chew up all the cycles on your box regenerating it on every hit.
