Detailed Comparison

Postmark
Postmark
EmailEngine
EmailEngine

Postmark removes the headaches of delivering and parsing email for webapps with minimal setup time and zero maintenance.

It is a self-hosted open-source application that provides a REST interface on top of any email account you have access to read and send emails. Combining these features would give you a similar email sending experience you'd get from a transactional email service.

Create a new virtual server- Instant access to our infrastructure, no waiting required. Create as many servers as you want, for each of your web applications and environments.;Drop code into your app- Swap in our SMTP endpoint, or get started with our APIs using one of our send API libraries for Ruby, Rails, .NET, Python, PHP, and more.;Send emails and track delivery- A beautiful interface to monitor volume, bounces, spam complaints, and send activity. View full email content to troubleshoot issues.;Parse replies & other inbound email- Let Postmark automatically convert email replies into simple JSON documents and send them into to your application for processing.
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
