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.
