I think the approach of the extension is one possibility. but it has to 
be enhanced.
the extension calls all mails from a mailbox and displays it directly.
no caching available :-(


but what about: call mails from mailbox and push it into tt_news and 
then delete the mail from mailbox.

This can be triggered from a FE-plugin (no caching :-( )

or it can be done directly with a cron-job. that means without TYPO3 :-(

or the cron-job decides whether you have mail in the mailbox and calls a 
page not in menu where a plugin can import the mail into tt_news (who 
clears the cache for the news-page?)
