Sending is easy. just the php mail() function. The rest need a server type platform I believe. So I have no idea how to do that. How I understand mail works is when you send a mail (easy) it goes to a server (the host of the domain), which can treat everything accordingly. The server send it then to an amount of space which your computer downloads from, which is why you don't have to be online all the time to avoid losing emails. However the server must be online all the time so that it can let the sender know - Yes I have received your mail and I have sent it to the person who you sent it to, and they should get it next time they download.
Again, I have never done it, nor even thought about it, but it would be a lot easier to use your website host's server (most have a mail system anyway). Otherwise you need to get a server, and make sure it is always on and then you will need someone else, as that is way beyond me. Hope that helps.

Hi.
Sending mail in PHP is easy. Just use the mail function, or even one of the free classes, such as PHPMailer or Swift.
Receiving mail is not something you *should* do with PHP. It may be technically possible, but it would probably require some hacking and setting up various cron jobs,possibly setting up and monitoring ports on your server and other such nasty stuff. All of which is heavily OS dependent and boring.
An easier solution... If you have access to your server, you can probably set it up as a mail server. Then, depending on your server type and configuration, your mail would most likely be put in a folder somewhere, where you could have your PHP read it.
