SparkPost
SparkPost
EmailEngine
EmailEngine

SparkPost is the world’s #1 email delivery provider. We empower companies with actionable, real-time data to send relevant email to their customers which increases engagement and both top and bottom line revenue.

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.

Quick and easy SMTP or REST API integration; Free trial;Real-time & predictive analytics;Performance and scalability;Superior deliverability;Powerful templating language;Message event log webhooks and API;Email relay webhooks;Subaccounts;Advanced security options;Comprehensive REST API and documentation; Pre-built client libraries;Excellent support;Developer hub
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
