I'm answering myself: in fact the script service should propose 2 methods, 1 to fetch a number of mails from a configured mail server, the other to parse a mail. A user could do something like this : #set($messages = $services.mails.fetch($server, 10)) #foreach($message in $messages) #set($mail = $services.mails.parse($message) $mail #end
The part that would create a wiki page + object from the parsed mail, seems more difficult to be generic. I don't know if some kind of default mapping configuration could be used (as for profiles creation from ldap), that would map mail headers to object properties. It can come in a second time though. Another thing that I don't know, is what xwiki is already able to do about mails, and if this kind of API should be added to an already existing component, instead of adding a new one.
