The project aims to create email-sending and receiving software similar to Gmail and Outlook. It won’t replicate all the functionalities of a full-fledged email service but will help users send and receive emails.

Learning outcomes:

• Use of networking libraries in Java to establish connections with email servers
• Knowledge of built-in Java Mail API for handling the sending and receiving of emails
• Building a user interface using Java Swing or JavaFX framework for different functionalities 
• Implement error-handling techniques to identify and fix issues in the application 

What it takes to execute this project:

• Setting up the Java development environment, installing JDK and Eclipse IDE 
• Plan and design the core functionalities of the application 
• Use Java Mail API to connect with an email provider’s server like Gmail IMAP/SMTP
• Develop functionalities to compose emails with texts and attachments 
• Design a user-friendly interface for a better user experience
• Test the application thoroughly and identify and fix bugs

Real-world applications:

• Creative agencies can use them to send creative emails to customers with features that might not be available in standard email service providers 
• Companies can maintain their uniqueness while communicating with clients via emails, scheduling reminder emails for offers, subscription renewals, due payments, etc.
• Such applications can use special features like Character User Interface, which allows you to show your clients email notifications for your brand at their convenience
