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.

Care should be taken to ensure that mails have been read completely.

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.
