Are there any libraries that help with receiving email in an Elixir application?

I know there are many different libraries to handle sending mail, but are there anyones for handling receiving of emails ?, im looking to implement something similar to plans@tripit.com, that is i send an email to that address and tripit will parse it and do stuff.. is there a library like that ?

thanks in advance

There is mail which implements RFC2822 parser. However you still need to handle receiving emails on your own. You probably would like to use some external service with web hooks for receiving, ex. Mailgun has such feature as well as SparkPost, SendGrid, and Mandrill.

I wrote Receivex receivex | Hex that abstracts mail providers for receiving email. Right now Mailgun and Mandrill are supported.

The library is still pretty minimal but worked for me

I stumbled upon that package on my quest for an email client. POP3 doesn’t cut it for me but thanks for the hint.

I didn’t give up on Mailroom and finally found a code snippet from the author in an issue ticket that fits perfectly for me.

I offered the author of Mailroom to contribute to the docs to make it clear how to use that package.

Where Next?
