Try either qpopper or there is a version distributed by UW in thier IMAP package.

Well if you already have a mail server you probably have some sort of e-mail retreival service - what are you running just now?

I'm running pop3 accounts for the users right now, but I'm trying to get a web interface setup as well incase a user wants to check there mail form another location or their just away from there machine.

The best way to do it would be with IMAP and squirrelmail since all mail is stored on the server. There are a few webclients the support pop though - take a look at:
