Receiving Email with Java

Play! 1.2.4

Here's an example of how to extract parameters from the original Cloudmailin HTTP POST. First, set up a route to your controller's action in conf/routes:

POST    /incoming_mail                       Mail.incomingMail

In the action method's signature, you can specify whichever parameters are relevant for your app. This example assigns to, from, disposable, and a list of attachments. All of the parameters are still available via the params object.

public class Mail extends Controller {

    public static void incomingMail(String to, String from, String disposable, List<Map> attachments) {
        // Do something with mail
    }
}

Then log into CloudMailin and make sure you set your address to deliver to http://example.com/incoming_mails (replace example.com with your app's URL) and send our first message. and thats it!
