#2They have done an amazing job with this. You can assign cards to people and even label cards through email. Sweet!

#4I was able to do this via Zapier, but never found a solid use case for this. Do love Trello though.

#5This is great, the next feature I'd love to see would be a way to update existing cards via email. The use case: I create a card by forwarding an email to my trello email address. In the meantime, the email thread continues and I have a few more updates on it. Now I want to update the Trello card with the updates from that email thread. If I just forward that email to Trello, it is now creating another new card instead of updating the existing card. Would others find this feature as useful as I would?

#6Haha, I didn't realize this was a new feature. I googled this and found this feature, and was using this feature yesterday. (info was on their Support site, but not their blog) I missed my chance for sweet karma! :-)

#7Can anyone here point me to a library/framework that would allow for monitoring incoming emails (similar to this scenario) and take actions based on email address it was sent to?

Not sure of a library that would let you do it, but maybe a mail server with rules that would get triggered on mail receive. Pretty sure you can run custom scripts on a postfix server based on email content.

On the Python side there's Lamson and Google App Engine also has nice email handling capabilities allowing you to parse and access from your own code / app.

Postmark is one I've used in the past that has an incoming mail API (in addition to outbound) that hits an endpoint you set with email data already processed for you, attachments included.
