thunderbird and mail from the system

[Adam Hardy <adam.ant@cyberspaceroad.com>]

Is it possible to set up Thunderbird to pull up the mail from my mailbox 
on my debian box?

It seems like an obvious thing to want to do, but I cant see any way of 
configuring it.

I was thinking maybe there's a package out there that dummies a pop3 
server for your server's mailboxes.
