as a independent consultant, I add many features to ofbiz. its core is substantial. I have clients that are adding custom stuff almost monthly. Like interfacing to Shipper, suppliers directly for order processing.
as far as mail, ofbiz uses java mail to get emails. as of yet there is no email like UI but there is way for sending and receiving emails. You will read about communication events, that is what handles emails. Obiz have the ability to filter emails as they come in and redirect them to specific background processing, like the UPS tracking emails. The processing though is not part of the ofbiz core at this time.
