h1. What is the BC-Mail ?
The Petals Mail binding component is a bidirectional binding component, it allows to :
* retrieve mails from an email account and send them to a JBI Service
* send JBI messages to an email account

h1. Service Configuration
PROVIDE SERVICE : Import into the JBI environment an email account as a service, or use a generic SendMail service :
Petals Mail binding component allows JBI consumers to send mails to an email account. A JBI endpoint is registered into the JBI environment, and is linked to an smtp server, with an email address defined. When MailBC receives a message exchange from Petals platform, the content of the message is sent to the defined email address.
The component can also provide a generic SendMail service. This service allows the consumer to send a specific XML message to the component, which defines all the information needed to send an email. To use this generic service, the consumer has to call explicitely the {{\{service namespace}send}} operation.
The message send by the consumer has to respect the following definition :
{code:lang=xml}
<ns0:mail xmlns:ns0="http://petals.ow2.org/components/mail/version-3.0">
<ns0:from>from@from.com</ns0:from>
<ns0:reply>reply@reply.com</ns0:reply>
<ns0:to>to@to.com</ns0:to>
<ns0:subject>subject</ns0:subject>
<ns0:body>Hello, here is an email</ns0:body>
</ns0:mail>

# Step 1 : A JBI Consumer sends a Message Exchange to the Mail Binding Component.
# Step 2 : Mail Binding Component processes the Message Exchange : transforms it into a mail message and retrieve targeted External Provider Service (email address) linked to the endpoint set in the Message Exchange.
# Step 3 : Mail Binding Component sends this new mail to the targeted External Provider Service (Business Service, simple email account...).

h3. Service Unit descriptor
Petals Mail binding component can be configured by deploying a new service unit to it. The jbi descriptor (jbi.xml file) of this service unit must contains a consumes node describing the link between an external mail store and an internal jbi endpoint. Here is an exemple of jbi descriptor activating a new "consumed service" :
{code:lang=xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

h3. Usage
When a new email is in the INBOX folder of the configured email account, the content of the mail is forwarded to the JBI Service defined in the Consumes section of the Service Unit.
