http://pigeonal.com/ is my attempt at doing this, we've built this app for email that you can deal with in an "out of band" fashion e.g. while waiting in queue. Disclaimer: I'm one of the creators of this app.

that's a pretty nice start. I guess it's similar to label+rules in Gmail? This creates a series of "inboxes" for the 200 services you recognise - and for client side that's pretty cool.

I was thinking more that I'd never actually get these messages via email, that on the mail server, these messages would be interpreted and assigned to whatever app/protocol is relevant. A bit like Tripit do with bookings email.

Look forward to see more from your app!
