Mail Suit in Laravel ?

Is it possible to have a gmail like app build in laravel ? what needs to be done ? i am not aware about this. we can use the smtp server to send email but if we want to receive email and store it for future reference how to do that ? normally our hosting already does that, how to do this in laravel like mobile app.

sorry if i might sound confused :/

So yes it can be done, question is why? What is the goal? Do you want to literally build a Gmail clone? Most of that is going to be js rather than PHP. Expand on your goals.

Just use gmail.

Yes you could build a mail server / client (your question confuses both) but why would you when there are off the shelf solutions?

If you feel you have a good grasp of the concepts, good UI and javascript skills and 2 or 3 years you could build a basic mail client.
