I have a project that involves two way communication with the ESP via email. It's fairly simple to send an email from the ESP, but I don't know how to receive email with it. I've tried to read several articles on doing just that, but they're so complicated that my brain starts playing leapfrog with itself halfway through the paper. There's got to be a simpler method. When I say receive an email, basically I need to get the message of the email as a string, so I can parse it within the ESP's code. Perhaps this is simply too complicated for me, but I'm really hoping not. If anyone has any suggestions, well, I need them Also let me know if you have any questions or need some other details.
Thanks

Do you need to use email?

Are the esps on the same network?

Do you need only one way or two way communication?

For a simple one way, use UDP.

See here :- https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncUDP

From there you should be able to extend to two way if required.
