Very clever. I can see the use in this.

Might also be a good way to schedule reminders for myself. Get a reminder after three months to change my home's water filter by just send an email.

Some privacy concerns you could address about how emails you receive are handled. I assume you need to retain some context of the original email to make the reminder useful – recipients, subject, body – what are you storing, in what way, how long?

Thanks for the feedback. I will address the concerns I am storing the subject, and the from address. I am not storing the email body hence not providing context in the reminders. I am using sendgrid's inbound parse api to receive emails and posting it to my service which adds reminder to the database. There is a service in the background which runs every minute and sends reminder based on the time to remind and delete the email once the reminder is sent. I think you are correct in your feedback about the original context of the email. for that I will have to store the email content as well.
