Read Email Sent to AppEngine

[Dave Greenly]

I have an app engine that I set up, that receives email.  My AppEngine is working fine, and I can parse the email etc... and start up the appropriate compute engines.

Is there a way that I can see the email in human readable form somehow, and potentially even report to the email.

I am sending it to the xx...@my-project-name.appspotmail.com.

I am not sure how to view this in an email client.

Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately, emails sent to your appspotmail.com are not saved anywhere, so you can't really access them through a client.

One thing you could do is to make your handler get the email, address it properly (starting up your instances, etc), then create a new email with the same content and send it to an address where you CAN read it (like your personal gmail, or an admin email). I would suggest using the Mail Python API (if you're using Python), which you're possibly already familiar with since you receive your emails there.

Cheers!
