通过电子邮件回复邮件[关闭]

Question

I want my users to be able to reply to my... let's call it forum, via email. When something gets posted to a topic they're watching, they get an email. I want them to be able to reply to that email and have my script post a message in the topic as that user.

My forum is written in PHP + Zend and my email provider is Google Apps for Businesses (so GMail).

Is there any way I can fetch all emails sent to a particular address and parse them in PHP (or Python or something else for that matter, as long as it's not C)?

You can pretty easily set up an environment that accepts the emails and will let you create a script to handle the information and put it in the db manually.
