I am currently doing this using a directory on the NAS to store the email data and using Thunderbird as a client on both PC and Mac. There is an option under 'Account settings > Server settings' which allows you to set a 'Local directory' which can be a network share. It has been working fine for many years now.
So, you aren't using POP3 to access messages from multiple computers. You are using a file share to access mail from multiple computers.
