    Many blogging services such as blogger and word press and image hosting such as flickr are providing the service of posting and upload via email. I hope its possible to set up such thing to my site also. But I have no idea how. My hosting provider provides me 3-4 mail accounts. Anybody know how to do that?

    1. First you need to have a super secret email address. Whatever sent to this address will be published.
    2. Login to email (I suggest to use POP3) using PHP and check number of email you have (http://www.weberdev.com/get_example-4015.html will help)
    3. Download emails and publish to your website as required.

    Thanks NeoCambell. It heped me somewhat. But what you have said is like a manual work. Everytime I have to publish the downloaded emails. I need this this is to be done automatically

    no...it is totally an automated job.
    Your php script will login to your email every 10 minutes or so, download emails and then publish on your HTML files automatically.
