You need to plan this out extensively first

  1. Write down all the things your mail client will do. Start SMALL
  2. Create a user interface via HTML ( I recommend using bootstrap framework for ease of CSS ) for each view ( Send a message form looks like, inbox looks like )
  3. Create your sending/receiving engine, I have no idea where to start i'm afraid. So like someone mentioned, get familiar with mail server stuff.

Make it as basic as possible to start out. Organize the rest as add-on's.
