I'm answering myself: in fact the script service should propose 2 methods,
1 to fetch a number of mails from a configured mail server, the other to
parse a mail.
A user could do something like this :
#set($messages = $services.mails.fetch($server, 10))
#foreach($message in $messages)
#set($mail = $services.mails.parse($message)
$mail
#end
The part that would create a wiki page + object from the parsed mail, seems
more difficult to be generic.
I don't know if some kind of default mapping configuration could be used
(as for profiles creation from ldap), that would map mail headers to object
properties.
It can come in a second time though.
Another thing that I don't know, is what xwiki is already able to do about
mails, and if this kind of API should be added to an already existing
component, instead of adding a new one.

@Vincent : Well, I use javamail APIs to parse, in fact
I extract the fields
(getHeader('headername')), do some computations (dates, body parts
aggregation ...) and store the result in a MailItem object of my own. Then
I
create the new page (or update) and object from the MailItem information.
If I move that part to a Java component, and provide a script service to
call it (and to retrieve the MailItem fields) from Velocity, how would I be
able to pass a mail as parameter from Velocity ?
For now the method is something like :
MailItem parseMail(javax.mail.Message mail)
But maybe it would be some kind of "internal" component, not supposed to be
accessed from wiki pages directly ? (so no script service for this part)
