It's a bit comple to be a mail server as it creates administration
issues and requires a specific subdomain and routing.
An alternate solution is a mailbox and a scheduler job which pools the
mailbox. All the APIs are already there for that.
What's necessary is define a convention of where the content goes based
on what is in the email (subject or specific marker or alias target
address).
I've aleady of few cases where we load emails. On our intranet we load
job posting in our Recruitment application.
However there is no generic loading mecanism for all of XWiki. I agree
it could be interesting.
I'm very interested in a feature that would allow an email discussion
that is captured as comments in the wiki.

The Apache James Project[1] could fit such a request. I've seen it
integrated into a few large scale frameworks before.
