Probably a "dumb noob question"

Welcome!

As for logging your serial data, that is noe in the arduino realm. You'll need to use a programming language. [C++ / Visual Basic / Java / Python etc etc]. The same goes for the emailing part.

The logging program should log all data recieved at the serial port. And eventually write it to file.

This file could then be sent over mail.

Do you know any programming languages?
