is it possible to read data from mail
I wonder on how flickr and blogger.com manipulate data sent to an auto-generated email to every each of their user. How this can be achieved? Do u get what I mean here

if you use flickr, you set an option to send your photos via email. Flickr will auto generate the email and that email is only for your usage. When you send your photo to the email address given, the photos will automatically show up in your flickr collection. I want to know how do they achieved this? How tom implement it?
If you blogger user, you can set your own email address for you to send your blog via email. And it will straight away publish your blog right after your email reached blogger mail server

In theory:
Those sites have an email address associated to a specific account (ie: postblog123538593@blogger.com), and any time an email comes into that account, the program running in the background scans the email and takes whatever contents are in the email, and posts it to where it needs to go.
