I’d like to build a feature into our web app that involves receiving and processing the contents of an email.

But instead of going through the hassle of getting email setup on our server, it’d be really nice if there were a third-party service where I could forward emails and they could then process them and make the contents of the email available via an API.

Flow would go like this:

  1. Customer sends email to new@example.com
  2. new@example.com forwards to unique_id@some-email-processor.com
  3. some-email-processor.com accepts the email and then stores it.
  4. I then make an API every X amount of time to retrieve the new emails

Are there any services like that out there?

    You can sign yourself or your company up for a mail account with GMail (that’s Google) or any other mail provider that gives you SMTP access. Then your application can use that service as its mailbox to the world. It doesn’t get much simpler.
