I have an automated account that needs its own inbox but sends like two plain text emails a day... mostly just to me. I never moved it to Fastmail because the price was prohibitive but this would be a great option for it instead.
- notpushkin 2y agoJust get something like SendGrid or Mailgun – services like this are usually free for a few thousand emails per month, and support SMTP (though are trying to push you to their proprietary API).
- ocdtrekkie 2y agoI've used Sendgrid quite a bit, it's great! But in this particular case, you may note I specified it needs it's own inbox: This particular tool of mine does presently use IMAP for inbound mail, and even though the volume for it is insignificant, it means I generally need a "real email account" for it.
- notpushkin 2y agoOh, right, sorry! I misread that as something along the lines of “sends to my own mailbox”. Perhaps replying on HN first thing in the morning wasn’t such a bright idea haha FWIW Mailgun also has a receiving API (proprietary, unfortunately): https://www.mailgun.com/products/send/inbound-routing/ https://www.mailgun.com/products/send/inbound-routing/
