Yes, it is possible. There are three general approaches:
1. Forward the mail from A to B using entries in /etc/aliases. To do this,
you need to be running an SMTP server on B (to receive the forwards, send by
SMTP).
2. Pull the mail from A to B, using POP3 or IMAP. You do this with a client
like fetchmail, running as a periodic cron job.
3. Leave it on A and access it, from B, with a POP3- or IMAP-capable MUA.
Netscape is one example; I think newer versions of pine support this too.
There are probably other ways as well (NFS share the mail directory on A?
never tried it, don't know if it works), but these three come immediately to
mind. I think #2 is the common approach these days.
