Yes it is possible. If the mails are in a user's mailbox on a unix server you can use
the finger utility:

-l Long format. Produces a multi-line format displaying all of the information
available from the -s option as well as the user's home direc-
tory, home phone number, login shell, mail status, and the contents of
the “.plan” and “.project” files from the user's home directory.

Yes, it's a fun idea. But consider mails sent to system account on linux systems
without beeing forwarded.
