I read though the docs and couldn't tell: is delivery reliable? If my app is down and I miss some POSTs, will I be able to tell? Will they be re-delivered?

I'm currently using Exchange to get real-time mail notifications and nice parsing, but am looking for other options.

Also, encoding attachements as base64 is an interesting choice. I'd prefer a URL where they can be downloaded instead.

Thanks for the feedback about the download URLs. Any particular reason for this preference that I can share with the team?

Photos and other large content. Most web stacks don't nicely handle large requests like that, and to the best of my knowledge streaming JSON parsers are both young and rare.

Totally fair - thanks!
