About the best you can do is install the UW-IMAP server and configure it to run
against your MH message store. Note that this is not perfect, as UW-IMAP
doesn't get all the MH folder semantics right, but it's functional enough to be
useful. (I forget what the limitations of the #mh driver are. If you use
this, don't mix command line and IMAP access if you can help it.)
The only other real alternative is to install an ssh client on your device and
remotely log in. This is not practical on a phone, but might be workable on a
tablet.
