Hello,
Tutorial Site
Development for Beginners | C++ Beginner's Guide | MSDN has beginner tutorials
Another Site
and this link has code for sending email here.

You could try the program in java.
The book to look at would be CoreJava Vol. 2 Advanced Features or google "sun learn java" for a snippet of code to build from.

Good luck

What email protocols do you plan to support?

[mIXpRo]

smtp pop3
i want to be able to work with gmail hotmail yahoo accounts

[WingedPanther]

I'd start by making sure you can issue the basic commands in the right order to get/send emails. Then worry about managing the local copies of the files.

[mIXpRo]

how do i do that ?

[WingedPanther]

Do you know how to do socket programming? If not, I'd start there. Then learn the protocols for POP3 and SMTP. Saving emails is just a matter of saving the text files. Displaying them can involve a little creativity. You'll also need to be able to encode/decode MIME encoding.
