You have to write a program which needs two interfaces: access to the
mailbox (Python has COM connectors (for Exchange) and should have modules
which parse mbox etc. files (for other unix-like mailboxes)) and an XMLRPC
connection. Establishing the latter one is very easy, see the supplied
scripts in MoinMoin/scripts/xmlrpc_tools. This can be done in Python.

Alternatively, you could write a program which just transfers one e-mail
into the wiki and is called by the mail server.

In any case, it fully depends on which mail solution you are currently
using.

Kind regards,
