Concurrency level provided by the mail and VFS transports listeners is 
insufficient

                 Key: SYNAPSE-434
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNAPSE-434
             Project: Synapse
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Transports
    Affects Versions: 1.2
            Reporter: Andreas Veithen
            Priority: Minor


Scenario:
* Two services are configured to use the (mail or VFS) transport.
* Two messages are sent two each of these services.

In this case, one would expect that the transport listener will be able to 
process at least 2 (better 4) messages concurrently. However the listener 
currently only processes one message at a time, i.e. the listener behaves as if 
it was single-threaded.

There are two reasons for this:

1. AbstractPollingTransportListener contains the following code:

workerPool.execute(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        synchronized (pollLock) {
            pollInProgress = true;
            try {
                onPoll();
            } finally {
                pollInProgress = false;
            }
        }
    }
});

Since pollLock is a member of AbstractPollingTransportListener, there can only 
be one poll in progress at a time, even if several services are configured to 
use the transport (in which case nothing would prevent the transport from 
executing the polls for the different services in parallel).

2. Both MailTransportListener and VFSTransportListener process incoming 
messages sequentially. Here again, the transport could process several messages 
in parallel during the execution of the onPoll method.
