EmailEngine

EmailEngine

EmailEngine is a self-hosted email API. It connects to any email account over IMAP/SMTP, the Gmail API or Microsoft Graph and exposes all of them through one REST API, with real-time webhooks for new, changed and deleted messages, bounces and sent mail. Developers use it to sync their users' mailboxes into their own product and send email on the users' behalf, without writing IMAP, MIME or OAuth2 code themselves. Built by Postal Systems, the team behind Nodemailer.

Startup insights
Value proposition

One REST API and webhook stream for every email provider (IMAP/SMTP, Gmail, Outlook/Microsoft 365), running on your own servers so mailbox data never leaves your infrastructure.

Problem solved

Building two-way email integration is slow and fragile: IMAP connection handling, MIME parsing, OAuth2 token refresh and per-provider API differences take months to get right. EmailEngine handles all of it, so a team can add mailbox sync and sending to its product in days.
