I love fastmail and its REST api but also at the same time I love to use google stuff like google docs, calendar etc, google voice. Technically I can use all gmail service without using a gmail account but it's always less intuitive somehow and always something break here and there when people invite or tag you in drive or google docs.

So I ended up build an email forwarding service, it runs on my own domain, forward email[1] back to my personal gmail. So I still have full control at my own domain level, have the flexibility that gmail give me, and have a REST api to access email.

Having this access REST API[2] in hand, I have been thinking I maybe able to scrape bank alert email to build out a a read-only API for my own banking transaction.
