RE: Webmail for local system mail

 sysutils/webmin will work without much configuration.  Some of the other
 more traditional one like squirrelmail will work as well, but some extra
config
 may be required.

Webmin++ (and just plain handy for a whole lot more!)

Are you sure SquirrelMail will do this? I was under the impression (from their 
requirements page) that it needs an IMAP backend.

In which case you'll want an IMAP server that can serve the local system
accounts.  Not hard to set up.

Did you try /usr/ports/mail/openwebmail ? (Needs apache) Runs OK here.

I didn't, but I think Webmin's Read Mail module will do all that I need, plus 
it has some other niceties.

Thanks everyone!___

Er, /var/mail/$USER _is_ an actual mailbox.  Depending on what
mechanism the webmail client(s) use to access mailboxes, you might
need to install a POP or IMAP server.
