Why is there no imap service?

I just watch Amazons web services and I used Elastic Beanstalk to build a Ruby web application. This all works great, but with one big exception. I cannot have email user accounts for a domain and cannot have incoming emails.

Is there a technical reason why this is so (without incoming mail), or am I missing something? I read a lot about using Gmail or installing postfix manually, are they the only options, and if so, why?

You can have user emails in a domain in one of two ways. If you want to save it to AWS, promote the EC2 instance and start the mail server of your choice, or just use the third party / provider mail batch (for example, Gmail or save the email that I use) and just point your MX records to these external mail servers.

I also want AWS to offer email hosting (and domain registration), but it's not hard to just put the small parts of your solution.
