The search [1] yielded these results:
    1) http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.html
    2)
http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Python/Python-Email-Libraries-SMTP-and-Email-Parsing/

I have used the email module very successfully.

Also you can try the following to connect to mailboxes:
    1) poplib
    2) smtplib

For parsing the mails I would recommend pyparsing.
