email and mailboxes. What do you do?

So, you've created your app, you're hosting it on Digital Ocean, you're using Mailgun to send emails from your app, and it's all working sweetly.

But what do you all do for incoming emails that don't go via the app?

When there's only one of you, you can forward everything to your gmail via Mailgun routes, but my latest app has a few on the team, and we want to be able to send emails from [email protected] and [email protected] etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Edit: To clarify, we want to be able to send and receive emails independently from the app but using [email protected].

With sparkpost, you can also configure gmail to send email via sparkpost with the domain name. Probably the same with mailgun.

Once, I created a page on the app to send mail, with user_name@domain.com, but I didn't have to handle history of email send, so it was quite easy stuff.
