Yeah, you definitely need to learn how to use sockets in order to send an email. As mentioned by ti_mo_n, madwizard (Thomas)'s tutorial is one of the better ones. Since you want to receive emails too, you would have to read up on pop3 protocol on top of the smtp protocol. For more information google with rfc followed by pop3 or smtp.
If you want to start simple, though, you could look at the MAPI stuff, which allows for simple sending of emails :)
At one time bazik had a good e-mail client going. Check into that.
