I would recommend starting with pmail or PMS. I don't know if pmail
would work on windows or not (probably not -- I think it uses the
GNOME desktop for some stuff) but I couldn't get it to work when I
tried it on my linux box. PMS (Python Mail System) is a project that
Moshe Zadka started/is working on to make a mail client in python.
Talk to him about working on it.
