The first thing you need is the ability to reach out to the mail server and the emails. There are several plugins that will help with this. A little Googling and you should find a couple of examples.
The second piece is repeated queries to the mail server. The best way to do this is use Background Job and have it check your email and then schedule a new Background Job (simply genius, I wish I had thought of it). Recursion wins again.
