We/Mailgun focus a lot on incoming mail parsing and routing. Honestly, we find it more interesting than just sending/delivery. Although, there is clearly more market demand for sending. We also allow you to create IMAP/POP3 mailboxes programmatically. We wrote a blog post about it recently[1] and you can also check out our docs for more information[2].
The other companies that I am aware of with incoming email capabilities are Sendgrid with their Parse API[3] and I believe Cloudmailin[4] focuses exclusively on handling incoming email.
Edit: Postmark[5] has incoming email in beta as well. Added links, too

- alexknowshtml 15y ago> We also allow you to create IMAP/POP3 mailboxes programmatically. This sounds cool - is there a non-obvious (at least to me) case for this beyond providing your customers with fully-functional inboxes?
- twakefield 15y agoSome customers use it for redundancy. So if we POST a message to them and they mishandle it, they can go back and search the inbox.
