mailhandler and listhandler spring to mind as suitable modules.
I would use forums to place the archived email and then limit access  
to the forums as required.

This setup is ideal if you want to archive messages from the  
implementation date onwards. To archive previous messages you would  
have to find a way to re-send them to the special mailbox you create  
as part of setting up Mailhandler/Listhandler.

How to setup Mailhandler/Listhandler like this, see the documentation  
at http://drupal.org/node/40777 . Please also check the README in the  
Listhandler module.

Other mail related modules can be found at the link:
