Comments.Text: Can you explain in a little more detail? Because you do not receive mail in CiviCRM, right? You receive mail in an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird. And do you then create an inbound e-mail activity in CiviCRM to record that email? Or are your thoughts based on receiving email directly into CiviCRM?

  You could use [inbound email processing](https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/setup/civimail/inbound/) to activities and then a smart group based on that activity in the last 3 months.
