Maybe there should be a possibility to get mails directly from a POP3 or IMAP account, as most users don't have access to Cron or Procmail.
You could trigger the reading of the mail account by a transparent 1x1 gif "webbug" or a redirector script every few minutes (e.g. if mail has not been read the last 5min, then get it now).
Querying the mail server slows down display a a page, but is only done every few minutes and most likely on different forum users.

Procmail does not require root access nor does it require access to cront, all you need as an email account and the avaliability of the procmail utility on the server. Heck, you do not even need a shell account. If you provider does not offer procmail, consider switching to a different provider if you intend to archive maling lists.
IMAP/POP3 are damn slow as far as message retrieval go and 1x1 pixel thing is also extremely slow and nearly impossible to keep account of.

BTW: There are a few other points in FUD's design where you hadn't the average user in mind - e.g. when rebuilding search index and compacting messages - because most providers restrict run duration of a script to a few seconds. You should change this to a step-by-step iteration - only process a small part while within allowed execution time, the reload script and do another part.

Hmm valid point, I'll see what can be done about those.
