I am very happy to see Mailgun work towards sane API's for their email offering. I'm in the process of building an internal API for external IMAP accounts for http://snapier.com/ http://snapier.com/ and it has been, well, rather exasperating... I can only imagine the frustration of trying to manage real infrastructure with such obtuse standards.
I'm hoping to open source our IMAP client wrapper soon, as it is a lot simpler than the standard library in Python.
- pyre 15y agoIn a lot of cases the Python standard libraries are just a wrapper that allows you to use a protocol without the need for socket-level programming, but not much above that in terms of abstraction. It makes sense though. This allows several third parties to develop different interfaces that can iterate faster than something in the standard library can by providing them with a stable base.
- jguimont 15y agoThere is already something like this http://context.io http://context.io You can extract and search anything from an IMAP account. Your app do not need to receive/parse the message.
- old-gregg 15y agoAnother vote here from Mailgunners for Context.io Those guys know IMAP like noone I've met before and their APIs are great.
