    You need to know socket programming for network connectivity.
    Moreover, for email handling, you'd require to know either IMAP(Internet Mail Access Protocol)/POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) (for receiving) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) (for sending)
    Search for the RFCs of the same.

    Surely this has already been done? Cant you use an already established mail client such as Evolution or Thunderbird? This isn't a homework question is it?
