is there a way to get emails from google, send emails, and add contacts to the address book using the google API?
I'm doing an obj-c mac application.

You can access mail from Google (and most other mail providers) via IMAP and mail can be sent via SMTP. You can use the Pantomime Framework for these protocols.

Can I integrate Outlook with Yammer in such a way that people in my contacts (Outlook) can be directly added in a group on Yammer ?
Or can I forward a mail directly to a user on Yammer as a message?
Is it possible to create an application that allows me to exchange data between Yammer and Outlook?
What you are looking at seems totally possible for me. I believe the best approach would be to register your app with Azure AD. Both Yammer and Outlook REST APIs can be discovered with Azure AD, see this link for example.
So now that you know that you will target Azure AD with OAUTH flow. You have to ask yourself if you want your app to do the requests or your web server will do it (see OAUTH flow "implicit" vs "code authorization").
Does bluemix (https://console.ng.bluemix.net/) have any incoming mail system for their apps which is similar to Google App Engine's Receiving Mail system (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/receivingmail).
Thanks.
PS: If possible, please share some links so I can begin exploring!!
as already suggested on the previous response Bluemix provide a outgoing email service using SendGrid
https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/sendgrid/
For incoming email service, there is no service provided on Bluemix, but there isn't any limitation in integrating your application on Bluemix with an external email service, using its own POP/IMAP interface
How to integrate your app with an external email service is depending from the language/technology you wish to use, for example with PHP you could use its IMAP extension
http://php.net/manual/en/intro.imap.php
to read from an external service using IMAP or POP3
Moreover using an external email service may allow you to use that service for sending email through SMTP, instead of using SendGrid: for example using PHP runtime you could use
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
to integrate with an external SMTP service (usually available with an email account as well as the POP3/IMAP one)
To my understanding to read emails from an iphone app I can use IMAP and OAuth, for sending there's SMTP. But what if I want my app to access GMail tags or other features gmail has to offer. Is that possible? What other apps like MailBox are using? Thanks
Google provides IMAP extensions for doing exactly what you want. You will have to create your own Objective-C wrapper/parser to use these extensions, though.
Reference: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/gmail/imap_extensions
is there any existing software (web based application), which allows to have all incoming emails (to wildcard email *#domain.com) to be posted via REST API to my web application?
The same thing Tumblr or Posterous does, it assigns you an email (for example trrehret3453#tumblr.com) where you can send text and pictures and it automatically posts it to your blog, I need exactly the same.
Maybe there's a mail server which can do that? I'm running Debian Linux.
Thanks!
Found this service: http://www.emailyak.com, they provide REST API for incoming emails.
I am trying to get an API key for Google AJAX Feed API's. However, it will only let me login with my Gmail (Google account), and I don't see any way to login with the Google Apps account here.
Couldn't find anything related on Google or Lycos. So is it possible to tie the AJAX Feed API key (which I believe will let me access other APIs as well) to my Google Apps account instead?
Gmail mail addresses are linked to a Google account by default, but Google Apps mail addresses aren’t.
You’ll have to sign up for a ‘Google Account’ using your Google Apps email address. After that, you’ll be able to login using your Google Apps email.
