Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When working with OpenArchiver, you are limited to either real inboxes or manually uploading files. For larger companies and more automated environments in general, it would be beneficial to ingest emails via API.

Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a new API endpoint in the Archived Email Service API that processes and indexes emails in the same way as this method. e9a65f9672/packages/backend/src/services/IngestionService.ts (L300)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another alternative would be to push the emails into a temporary inbox, which would then be connected to OpenArchiver. This is not very scalable!
