You can't do this.

You can retrieve SMS because Android provides a content provider to allow you to access the SMS database.

However, Email is mainly handled by two apps: Gmail and the stock Email app. Neither of these apps provide access to their database. Moreover, they only store recent email locally, and pull more from the server when required.

You could always ask the user to sign into their email account using your app, if you really need access to the email.
