You don't get it, then.  I'm not asking because I want the answers; I'm 
asking to make sure *you* can formulate the answers.  Apparently you 
can; if so, great.

I hate to be a pessimist, but I cannot see how it will be anything but. 
You're trying to implement a real-time low-latency messaging queue over 
e-mail, and you're trying to do it on a low budget.  Moreover, your 
expertise seems to be in a different area, so you'll be spending lots of 
that low budget on research.  I suppose it's possible to pull these 
chestnuts out of the fire, but suffice it to say that I'm really 
worried.

BTW, is the machine on the receiving end actually checking e-mail often 
enough that every millisecond is significant?  I would doubt it, and if 
not, then this whole project is a waste of time.

Best,
