I don't know how much help we can be here in support. But if it were me building this plugin from the ground up, rather than making a plugin that logged into the email, checked for an email, dealt with all of the content, and then alerted based on that content, I would instead create a script to do that heavy lifting. The result of all of that heavy lifting might be a log file for example. Then you could use something like check_log to monitor that log file.
