How to spot out the link and click the link from email body. 

${FIELD NAME}=    ImapLibrary.Get Links From Email    ${latest}
${mailbody}=    ImapLibrary.Get Email Body    ${latest}
${HTML}=    ImapLibrary.Open Link From Mail    ${latest}

But when I give "Get Email Body", I'm able to get total content in email body. How to spot out the links from there and how to click from there?

To find links you need to use regexps. For example this Stackoverflow question answers how to find urls in text: Regex to find urls in string in Python

It looks like this in Robot Framework:

*** Settings ***
Library           re

*** Variables ***
${mailbody}   this is mail body http://www.stackoverflow.com/ foobar https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31288261/how-to-click-the-link-in-email-body-and-how-to-spot-out-the-link-using-robot-fra

*** Settings ***
Library           re

*** Variables ***
${mailbody}   this is mail body http://www.stackoverflow.com/ foobar https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31288261/how-to-click-the-link-in-email-body-and-how-to-spot-out-the-link-using-robot-fra
${url regexp}    http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+]|[!*\(\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+

*** Test Cases ***
Get Urls
    @{lines}=    re.findall    ${url regexp}    ${mailbody}     
    Log Many    @{lines}

You cannot really click the links, instead you should use Selenium2Library to open them in browser.
