It's not clear where you're trying to innovate here. IMAP mailboxes on my domains are hosted by Rackspace Mail [1] at $1/mailbox/month. I don't use any other Rackspace services, just point my MX records there so I don't have to manage mail servers and spam filtering myself.
Where I need an API for both inbound and outbound mail, there's SendGrid and SendGrid Parse [2], among others.

- mflindell 14y agoAt the core I will be building an API that hooks straight into an IMAP server. So instead of making an IMAP call from your application you make a much faster API call. I always thought that Sendgrid was a transactional email service, not so much a business oriented and more full featured email server. This would make building new applications that use email as a feature much faster to build because you only have one endpoint to hit.
