Just removed email from your question. It attracts spam otherwise. Once someone replies you here, you will recieve an email automatically.

Essentially you'll need to install some email server and you'll need to create an email client for your web application. I would suggest you to take a look at this email library for C# it can help you a lot with this task, for example you can send emails with it via SMTP, receive emails with POP in C# or maybe receive emails with IMAP in C#, etc. In short you can achieve a straightforward manipulation and processing of emails with it.

First and foremost you need to know the code of sending an email in ASP.NET. Google or search here in CP - you will find number of articles on the same.

I want to know about inbox code(how to create a inbox and how to recieve a mail)
Now, in order to have something like a email service, you need to have a storage space with you. For now, a database.

For example sake: 1 table for inbox and 1 table for Sent emails. Whenever you send an email save the entry in 'Sent mails' table and whenever a user recieves it keep an entry in 'inbox' table.
When user logs in, retrieve the data from 'Inbox' table and show that to user.

Now, try.
