Ruby on Rails

What is it you actually want to create? The mail server infrastructure
that sends, receives and stores email for millions of users or perhaps
the dinky little web interface?

How much do you actually know about email? Do you understand POP,
IMAP, SMTP? Have you read the many RFCs covering all aspects of email?

Perhaps you should look at something like Squirrel mail (
http://squirrelmail.org/about/ )

"SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP. It
includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols,
and all pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no JavaScript required)
for maximum compatibility across browsers. It has very few
requirements and is very easy to configure and install. SquirrelMail
has all the functionality you would want from an email client,
including strong MIME support, address books, and folder
manipulation."

It is written in PHP but you should be able to read the source quite easily
