Why would you want to make an e-mail client inside Messenger? I think most people would prefer a stand-alone e-mail application on the desktop or on the web, instead of reading and sending e-mail inside Messenger.
On a more technical note, this would be very hard to do with Plus! scripting alone. Sending mails may be somewhat doable
(1), but to receive and manage e-mails you'd need to build a complete storage system for it.
I think there's already a variety of e-mail clients available, adding another one would only cause more trouble when you use more than one. For example, how would you copy mails between the Messenger client and a different one? Outlook provides a bunch of export options, do you expect that the Messenger client can interpret all these as well?
In my opinion, it's too complex and totally not necessary. Why reinvent the wheel?
(1) Sending mails using nothing but Plus! scripting is a pretty tough job, although there are alternatives. You could write a DLL to handle this, or use a remote server to send mails. This last method is how Volv's script works: the script sends a request to a remote PHP webserver which then uses its own SMTP server to send the message:

Since there's no need for any SMTP configurations on the client side, this makes the script easy to use. However, it's not practical when you want to make a serious e-mail client to be used daily, you need to send mails from the client side itself.
