I definitely would use a nice separate service for incoming emails because parsing incoming emails is a PITA. There are services like Mailgun or Sendgrid with incoming mail parse APIs, but they concentrate more on the sending end. Features: - reliable (!) charset conversion (everything to UTF-8) - attachment handling (large attachments too) - backup storage (in case of problems on my end) - and letting me choose what I want to receive, such as full source code, HTML, text only, "safe HTML" (HTML stripped of JS, tracking pixels and other presumably dangerous code). These I'd consider as basic requirements. Later on it 'd be nice to have other stuff such as spam ratings, filters etc. As for the pricing: please only charge for the number of emails received and maybe storage used, but don't charge based on the number of mail boxes ;) So, when do you launch? :D
