Why not set up a webmail interface, and lock down your favorite web
browser as a kiosk?
I've set up several kiosks using firefox and R-kiosk on top of FreeBSD
for patrons at a local library. They have access to browse web pages
and nothing more. You could even go so far as to edit the hosts file,
use a proxy, or put them behind a firewall to restrict what sites they
can visit (i.e. your webmail interface).
