I use mailgun with GAE... it works with local development environment and deployed production environment. Their support is awesome and the web service is lightning fast. I moved to mailgun because my app requires more flexibility than what the native GAE email capabilities provide (specifically I needed additional sender capability). The other mail service I'd consider is http://postmarkapp.com/ which now also offers an inbound email web service (they can invoke your HTTP handler) similar to mailgun. I still prefer mailgun though. Many other email services are purely geared towards outbound mail and limit inbound to mail protocols such as pop, imap, etc... vs calling an http handler asynchronously.
