EmailEngine's Features
- It allows simple access to IMAP accounts via REST based API. No need to know IMAP or MIME internals, you get a "normal" API with paged message listings
- All text (that is subjects, email addresses, text and html content etc) is utf-8. Attachments are automatically decoded to binary representation
- Whenever something happens on tracked accounts EmailEngine posts notification over a webhook. This includes new messages, deleted messages and message flag changes
- Easy email sending. If you specify the message you are responding to or forwarding then EmailEngine sets all required headers, updates references message's flags in IMAP and also uploads message to the Sent Mail folder after sending
- No data ever leaves your system (read about data and security compliance here)
- If you are running into IP based rate limiting then EmailEngine can make use of multiple local network interfaces to make connections from different IP addresses
