I don't think this makes much sense, since it will
only last until you reboot your terminal, and then
there go your messages. You really want to just
download them with a trivial pop fetch program,
or forward them to your Plan 9 account directly,
so that they'll be on disk in your mbox. Either
way you're maintaining two separate mailboxes
now.
