I'm curious what programming language I would have to learn in order to create my own mail server. I'm not looking to compete with the big names, simply playing around.
For example, gmail, yahoo, msn. To be able to dynamically add #domain.com emails and allow users to check and send emails.

Mail servers can be written in pretty much anything. Usually the bigger ones (sendmail/exim) are c/c++ but, you can pretty much write one in anything you choose. Its all a big text conversation if you look at how SMTP works.

I want to create a custom mailbox that is consisted of the mail default folders like inbox, send, etc without using the mail protocols like IMAP or POP. I also want this mailbox to work with my database using some APIs that I have developed on the back-end. for example when I click on Inbox folder I want outlook to call my specific API to fetch my inbox items.
Is this possible or not? if it is which APIs or technology should I use?
Any suggestions for my requirement?

So I needed some kind of thread handling for this requirement. I went through XEP-0201 and found it useful, but I am not able to find any XMPP server and client that implemented XEP-0201.
Please let me know if anybody has used/wrote the XEP-0201 or if there is some other mechanism in XMPP so that I can handle multiple threads.
You won't find servers that support XEP-0201 - it's purely a client thing. Clients add the <thread> element to messages, and the recipient will receive it. The XEP is about general best practices around how to use that mechanism.

It would be nice to be able to share some code snippets / random stuff with colleagues (15 people).
I was thinking to set-up an office chat, and I wonder if you have any system to recommend.
I can use a dedicated server for that.
Is IRC the way to go? or are there different technologies?
Openfire server and Pidgin client lets you chat and send files.
IRC is probably a really cheap way of doing this. Pretty much any client can XDCC and send files to other users like, XChat, chatzilla, pidgin, weechat, mIRC, etc. There's also a free server software that you can setup, like lightIRC, Unreal, Pjirc, Bahamut, etc.
But I think what you really want is project collaboration software. There's a lot of options here, some cost money and some are hosted as a service.

I want to know if it's possible to send an html email which contains an html quiz, the receiver will fill in the quiz and send it back. Then, is it possible to see their answers?
It's easier to make a quiz in google docs and invite everyone by email.
Any script in an email will probably be blocked by firewalls, antivirus programs and email readers.
This is not possible. For sending email , you need to use atleast one server -side scripting language e.g. Asp.net , Php etc.
its a very common requirement and source codes are available easily.

I have to make an application of email client. is it possible to make an application that can manage different email addresses. In application we have to provide inbox for different id. I don't know how I'll connect to all servers. and how it will work? can anybody guide me?
This is really new for me thats why please don't mind if my question is silly
There used to be an app, remail, then open sourced by google: http://code.google.com/p/remail-iphone/
Also on the OneMail app website you'll find a list with the frameworks they're using: http://codev.co.uk/products/onemail/notice
I guess that it is possible, since it is an "stand alone" app and not an improvement to the native app.
