I won't say it's impossible, but it would be cumbersome
processing email on an AVR.
There are HTTP servers for AVR(8bit) devices, so it should be
possible.
That's absolutely true, but usually they're very simple.
You can interface the AVR to an external SRAM or NOR-flash and
thus store the entire email (or Web-page) there.
But imagine that someone sends an email with an attachment - or
just writes 50K of babbling. -That might be difficult if you have
an AVR with only 8K RAM.
It's much easier - and perhaps cheaper - to pick a Cortex-M,
which has most of the things you need already; you can get
ethernet PHYs for less than $2, which interfaces with a Cortex-M.
