I couldn't tell what this was from the title. Here is the description from visiting the link:

Thanks, I probably should have chosen a smarter title

Congrats on launching and shipping! Just a note: your landing page is still a little confusing as far as what File Mess can do.

Are you using Context.IO[0]? I just (re-)discovered their platform earlier this week and definitely makes it easy to get started if you're hacking an email processing/automation system (which can be significantly profitable in the B2B space).

Mailgun is another great email API platform. I built and launched imgpage[1] just a few days ago and couldn't have done it without them. Had a few questions, Mailgun support was fantastic.

Thanks! Both those guys are fantastic tools, but leave a lot to be desired as far as permissions (all, not partial) and extensibility. As front-end apps for emailbox are open code, so anybody could quickly make an email app.

I was also fooled by the title :) In fact I was hoping for something a little different. What I wanted was something that intercepted my attachment(s) stored them in the cloud and then passed a link embedded in the email. That way I could send overly large attachments to folks who have limits on what size they can retrieve via email. Anyone reading this have suggested work arounds?
