I think it's impossible to enable users to go to their email from your page, because some email servers don't have web interface. Others have various web URL that you cannot look up them at all.

No. Many different emails work differently. Gmail is very different than Outlook for example. It's a good idea but it is sufficient to just put up a message indicating to the user that they need to check their email.

Even if you could bring their email window into focus there is no way to ensure they are the ones logged in. After all, the point of you sending them the email is to make sure it is who they say it is.
