I have written an onsite messaging script and am thinking of extending it to act as a external mail client too.
Whats the best way to start this and should i use pop or imap?

It depends on what you need to support. If you're writing it for yourself, then support whatever method your mailbox uses. If you're writing it for the rest of the world, start with POP and then add IMAP afterwards. Most users that would be able to use your system have POP access.
There is a package called SquirrelMail written in PHP. If you grab a copy of that, that would probably be a great starting point.
