I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but it is possible, either
directly from Elisp or some solution/combination with/from
Dired and/or the shell ...

Emacs-w3m (3rd party, based on w3m) or the built-in eww.
Emacs-w3m is a Japanese project BTW, eww is from Norway
I guess :)

Dired is what I and a lot of people use ... and while
Midnight Commander is an orthodox file manager (an OFS) Dired
is a directory editor, "[a] term that predates the usage of
file manager". The first year they mention on the Wikipedia
page [1] is 1974 for dired and 1984 for OFS, so that's
a decade already ...

There are several ... Rmail (written and used to this day by
RSM) and Gnus (which is much more advanced, powerful, and
generally recommended for mails from/with Emacs).
In particular Gnus with Gmane for mailing lists! As the saying
goes, "Gnus is to Emacs users what Emacs is to computer
users".

You need/want a special browser for that?

Write it yourself in Elisp - in the unlikely even no one did
it already ...

Not that I know of but you can execute any shell tool from one
of the shell modes or terminal emulators ...
