Equivalent of REST for E-Mail

REST is made for HTTP. Is there a equivalent of REST for E-Mail (SMTP, POP3 or IMAP)?

I'm thinking of something where the request is send by mail and the response also comes as mail.

What you need is a Message Broker / Message Oriented Middleware / Message Queueing solution that is supporting SMTP. Even this soulution have 'Message' in there name they don't have anything to do with email. They concentrate on solutions to get a message for sure (safe and secure) from one server to another.

What came direct to my mind was Apache ActiveMQ and I search if it can work with SMTP together and I found Apache Camel - Mail Component. Form APache Camel Homepage:

Camel empowers you to define routing and mediation rules in a variety of domain-specific languages, including a Java-based Fluent API, Spring or Blueprint XML Configuration files, and a Scala DSL. This means you get smart completion of routing rules in your IDE, whether in a Java, Scala or XML editor.

I hope this helps to find the answer.
