I have the pop3 monitor and the email sender setup
(www.xapframework.net). I can then send and receive email via xAP, works
well too. I have used it in Floorplan to email alerts when things like
ZoneMinder camera events occur between certain times.
While i'm more that happy to add features to Floorplan, adding too much
internally does kind of defeat the distributed xAP ideal. Having a
proper xAP<>email gateway running benefits all apps. Also the less
things Floorplan has to do internally, the more time it can spend
processing things and serving up pages ;-)
