What it is

MailParse receives inbound email and converts MIME messages into structured JSON. It extracts text and HTML bodies, inline images, attachments, headers, and routing details, including nested and multipart messages. Parsed results can be sent by POST to a configured webhook, with exponential-backoff retries and HMAC signature verification, or retrieved through a REST polling API. Polling supports filters for sender, date range, subject, and attachment type, with cursor-based pagination. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation, spam scoring, and per-address rules support message handling. Attachments use signed download URLs and are retained for 72 hours by default, with plan-based retention settings. Custom domains require an MX record and ownership verification. If a webhook is unavailable, retries continue for up to 24 hours, with replay and polling recovery. MailParse offers API and web access. Free includes 100 emails monthly; Pro costs $29 per month and Scale $99 per month.
