If you have that thing turned on that emails you every time someone sends you a messege ingame...you can just reply to the email and it goes back to them.

If you want to send an email *from* SL to the outside world, I believe you can take snapshot, and select the "Send Postcard" option.
Edit: nm - this isn't what you're asking for. Just re-read the OP.  _____________________

Yup, Travis is right. Also if you are interested in scripting you can use llEmail and llGetNextEmail to cause objects to send and receive e-mails. If nothing posted here so far has answered your questions, Siilkia, please elaborate, because I'm a bit unclear as to what you're asking... _____________________

There are several threads in these forums (which I am not going to search for right now) that talk about actual development of an application that would allow XMLRPC communications with in-world people. Not sure how far this is along, but several attempts have been made.
Another solution, which I have pitched to the Lindens, is for them to implement a Jabber server that would tie into their user database. It would probably be fairly simple to implement and not very resource intensive. It would just take them time to develop/plan it. Just my 2cents... MarcusM |

If you have an object in world, a name/key database out of world, and a basic knowledge of XML-RPC you can send an IM from out of world to in world. I use this functionality often for SLBoutique.com (gift giving) and I know Rathe at MetaAdverse uses it as well... its quite handy. Of course, if you're caught using it to spam, you'll be immediately banned, and hopefully hung for crimes against humanity!
 I've also programmed a somewhat klunky interface which sets up a web-based chat system that allows people to choose a name through the web chat and chat with people in-world who are within 20 meters (chat/listen distance) of an in-world prim. It is fairly klunky, however, due to the limits in the XML-RPC implementation and takes up a fair amount of bandwidth when its turned on (it polls the prim every 3 seconds via XML-RPC to see if there's any new chat from in-world to relay to the web, and sends chat from the web to the prim in world any time someone on the web chat talks).
