I’m wondering how do we go about building an “email client” that is on the web.. or is it even possible to have people connect to my “email client” from their gmails/hotmails/yahoo mails and read their emails from my client?

Depending on your language of choice you’ll find that there are both IMAP and POP libraries that you can use to access email accounts online.
The IMAP protocol is available here if you want to find out more about the details of IMAP, it is a fairly complex system, with pop providing an easier, though less popular alternative.
