Using cronjobes you will read periodically your mail with IMAP/POP3 whatever they call it. I wrote a similar app. I’ll write part of it here within minutes.
Edit: Here it is. http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-headerinfo.php

$m_mail = imap_open ("{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX", $m_username . "@gmail.com", $m_password)

// or throw a freakin error............you pig
or die("ERROR: " . imap_last_error());

// unix time gone by or is it bye.....its certanly not bi.......or is it? ......I dunno fooker
$m_gunixtp = array(2592000, 1209600, 604800, 259200, 86400, 21600, 3600, 5500);

// Date to start search
$m_gdmy = date("F j, Y, g:i a", "200901022");

echo $m_gdmy;

//search mailbox for unread messages since $m_t date
$m_search=imap_search ($m_mail, 'UNSEEN');
