For now sure but there's no reason this couldn't be a premium service down the road.

Heck, I'd pay for it if it allowed me to access it programmatically, process the cover images to filter junk mail, and have them (for an added fee / driven by API) shred them for me.

If anyone wants to try building it that idea out let me know. I'll beta test.

This is already a service and has been for a long time:

https://www.earthclassmail.com/

I looked at that years ago and found enough complaints about it thatI picked a lower-tech service. Be sure to do some research before you try it.
A positive testimony here for Earth Class Mail. Using them for several years now. It seems like they were in difficult times maybe five years ago. Since then, they went through a re-org, found a new CEO, and are by all signs doing well. New addresses and features added periodically. They regularly ship (forward) for us internationally too.
Good to know, thanks!
