Handle incoming emails

Yup, that makes perfect sense. Sadly, unlike sending mail, this isn't as easy.

You'll need a local mta such as qmail.

I've never done anything like this, but it must save the incoming mail somewhere. If it's saved in any kind of comprehensible format you could have a update_mail() type of function in your admin area. That would then check the directory with the new messages and add them to your database (or make a cron job do it).
