You have to use php to connect to a pop3 mail server.
I'm not sure about 000webhosts, maybe it will work, but the code to do so is pretty advanced.

In Ruby you can use Jabber to connect to GMail with ease, and there's alternatives for other messaging services; by the way, I'd mainly rely on PHP as JavaScript like I've said before, is disabled with ease (exception if this is solely for you), I'd recommend a library rather than pure JavaScript as it removes frustration (I've found.)

There might be a way to do this, but I need to know what your exact purpose is. Just saying "check email" doesn't really mean anything. Please narrow it down to one of the following:
1. I just need to know how many new messages are waiting for me on the email server.
2. I need an automated program to respond to all new messages that arrive on the mail server.
3. I need a program that performs a certain action when an email is received.
4. I need a program that compiles statistics on what email was received depending on who or where it was from.
5. I need a program that sorts the email and redelivers it to the appropriate person.
If you can narrow it down for me I might be able to come up with something.
