I wounder if you could make a link or a page (submit botton) that can send mail using a new email? Don't get it? Like Yahoo mail. How do they do it? Its not from your home PC its from the yahoo email. Don't see what i mean? Click Here (http://www.mail.yahoo.com)
If you don't have a user to see what i mean. get a ID and password then Login and Check your mail! As you will see u can send emails from @yahoo.com

Yahoo uses a complex database system, a secured connection, a hell of a lot of server-side scripting and some clever configuration along the way. That's the login part.
Then, there's a huge lot more of thier database system that deals with storing e-mails, address books and security logs.
And, they use at least couple of mailsevers: one to pick up the mail itself and the other to send it.
The fact that you posted this in HTML is enough to say that you are by no means ready to do something like this. To be honest, as does the fact that you found the concept of a web based mail account at all exciting.
There are however, some ready written applications such as neomail (http://neomail.sourceforge.net/) that cover most of the hard stuff.
