When you say you want to send and receive emails, what do you mean ?

Generally SES is used to send emails from an app that you run and you want this service to handle all the posting for you, from doc - why use Amazon SES

Building a large-scale email solution is often a complex and costly challenge for a business. You must deal with infrastructure challenges such as email server management, network configuration, and IP address reputation. Additionally, many third-party email solutions require contract and price negotiations, as well as significant up-front costs. Amazon SES eliminates these challenges and enables you to benefit from the years of experience and sophisticated email infrastructure Amazon.com has built to serve its own large-scale customer base.

The receiving part as noted in doc

When you use Amazon SES to receive messages on behalf of your verified domains, you can configure Amazon SES to deliver your messages to an Amazon S3 bucket, call your custom code via an AWS Lambda function, or publish notifications to Amazon SNS. You can also configure Amazon SES to drop or bounce messages you do not want to receive.

so on receipt, SES will trigger rules that you have defined.

From your question, it sounds like you want to use a basic email client to do sending/receiving of emails, in this case Amazon provides another service called Amazon Workmail which you can compare with google apps.

If you're really looking into sending email from an app using SES, you can review this link which explains how to do it with GoDaddy
