One idea is to set up a POP server at work which accesses that file,
then you can access the POP server from home.

Well, you could do this, or you could use IMAP.  Set up an IMAP server
at work, then start Gnus at home and use the Agent feature.  But
migrating your email to an IMAP server is a major undertaking.  Don't
do it out of a whim, think about it first.
