I won't say it's impossible, but it would be cumbersome 
processing email on an AVR.
But there are Arduino using ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers too.

I can mention a couple of microcontrollers that have ethernet 
support (eg. they need a PHY of your choice and for instance a 
HanRun ethernet connector) - Examples are STM32F4xx from 
ST-Microelectronics and 
LPC1758/LPC1768/LPC1769/LPC177x/LPC178x/LPC43xx from NXP.
There are others from other vendors as well, but those above are 
quite popular and very easy to find as stand-alone chips or small 
evaluation boards.

I find it particularly interesting to be able to send an email to 
a device, which can then process and do some simple things (eg. 
turn stuff on/off, send back the room temparature, etc.) - also a 
mail-robot would be quite interesting as a stand-alone "thing".

I have the exact same problems. ;)

It'll be ready when it's ready. When building in small steps, the 
job often gets easier.

May you be successful with ease!
