You should not use PHP to write a mail server. If you are not extremely experienced you should not write an own mail server at all. Better use an existing one like Dovecot and Postfix. Set it up to use MySQL and write a PHP script for account creation and such stuff.

Will check both of them ,thanks mate Smiley

You need both. One for incomming and one for outgoing mails.

Use Gmail and add your domain. Costs a few usd per month and takes minutes to setup.

could you give more details about what you want to de ? like, do you need the emails to be sent autormatically ? do you want the emails to be processed locally and sent to a mailing list ? do you want to provide a mail management service ? give more details and maybe someone will help you.
