    few ways to do this.
    you mentioned "people" (users) and mobile centric which means you'll definitely need the box-o-tricks (mysql/php/jquary and a pretty flexible css framework. id also have some security with that email if there's a processing module at the end of that chain.

    hate to suggest this since it's probably an overkill and people hate it. buutttt wordpress does this. user management, email direct to post (although that isn't difficult) , flexible aesthetics and already built for you. http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_…

    you could use a naked theme and hack away at it. i think that;'s the quickest if you don't know your way around php well. but you can cut/paste into something.

    as for do it yourself:
    use php to check a mail account (imap pop3; im assuming a lamp setup) Then use php to process any mail it finds. You could use PHP's IMAP functionality, which supports IMAP, POP3 and NNTP.

    (you got a lot of control over the mailbox)

    it's a good project to lean mysql/php with.
