Programming Internet Email
By David Wood

Internet mail protocols have become not just an enabling technology for messaging, but a programming interface on top of which core applications are built. This book is an essential guide and reference for programmers building applications on top of email capabilities and for power users trying to get under the hood of their own email systems.

It points out the existence of a Java Mail API at: http://www.java.sun.com/products/javamail which you might be able to use, if you want.
