That's not simple?
Well, you need to decide how you wanna handle it

#

SMTP, POP3, IMAP, Via API request?

hi, i wrote an email server in javascript years ago, it's far from simple:

  1. implement the smtp/esmtp text protocols
  2. implement clients and servers
  3. find all the specs that build on these two protocols and implement them (dmarc, spf, tls, etc.)
  4. implement imap/pop3 (mailboxes)
  5. profit
#

if you just want to send and recieve emails without a mailbox system you just need 1 to 3

#

you'll have to write them yourself, or you can use C code to do it
