You can email into your Evernote account:

Or if you don't like Evernote, you could use Zapier (https://zapier.com/) to email into almost any other Web service with an API.

Ah, thanks, I didn't know that about Evernote.
I've not used Evernote myself because I tend to use Linux, but I'm definitely going to try it with Wine.
Evernote and Linux user here. Their web app is quite good, and their Android and iOS apps are fantastic. Having also messed around with their native app on Windows, I didn't feel like I was missing too much since the whole point is really the content of the notes.
For what it's worth, there are a couple clones of the native app for Linux including Everpad and Nevernote. Haven't tried them because the web app does everything that seems necessary for me.
Because of that I'm thinking of developing a 'brain dump' service, that you can send an email to. You would host it on your own device. The service will read it's inbox and add messages from authorized senders to a plain-text repository, and offer the most simple things like login, listing and search functionality.
