+
+# The base class for all application mailboxes. Not intended to be inherited from directly. Inherit from
+# `ApplicationMailbox` instead, as that's where the app-specific routing is configured. This routing
+# is specified in the following ways:
+#
+# class ApplicationMailbox < ActionMailbox::Base
+# # Any of the recipients of the mail (whether to, cc, bcc) are matched against the regexp.
+# routing /^replies@/i => :replies
+#
+# # Any of the recipients of the mail (whether to, cc, bcc) needs to be an exact match for the string.
+# routing "help@example.com" => :help
+#
+# # Any callable (proc, lambda, etc) object is passed the inbound_email record and is a match if true.
+# routing ->(inbound_email) { inbound_email.mail.to.size > 2 } => :multiple_recipients
+#
+# # Any object responding to #match? is called with the inbound_email record as an argument. Match if true.
+# routing CustomAddress.new => :custom
+#
+# # Any inbound_email that has not been already matched will be sent to the BackstopMailbox.
+# routing :all => :backstop
+# end
+#
+# Application mailboxes need to overwrite the `#process` method, which is invoked by the framework after
+# callbacks have been run. The callbacks available are: `before_processing`, `after_processing`, and
+# `around_processing`. The primary use case is ensure certain preconditions to processing are fulfilled
+# using `before_processing` callbacks.
+#
+# If a precondition fails to be met, you can halt the processing using the `#bounced!` method,
+# which will silently prevent any further processing, but not actually send out any bounce notice. You
+# can also pair this behavior with the invocation of an Action Mailer class responsible for sending out
+# an actual bounce email. This is done using the `#bounce_with` method, which takes the mail object returned
+# by an Action Mailer method, like so:
+#
+# class ForwardsMailbox < ApplicationMailbox
+# before_processing :ensure_sender_is_a_user
+#
+# private
+# def ensure_sender_is_a_user
+# unless User.exist?(email_address: mail.from)
+# bounce_with UserRequiredMailer.missing(inbound_email)
+# end
+# end
+# end
+#
+# During the processing of the inbound email, the status will be tracked. Before processing begins,
+# the email will normally have the `pending` status. Once processing begins, just before callbacks
+# and the `#process` method is called, the status is changed to `processing`. If processing is allowed to
+# complete, the status is changed to `delivered`. If a bounce is triggered, then `bounced`. If an unhandled
+# exception is bubbled up, then `failed`.
+#
+# Exceptions can be handled at the class level using the familiar `Rescuable` approach:
+#
+# class ForwardsMailbox < ApplicationMailbox
+# rescue_from(ApplicationSpecificVerificationError) { bounced! }
+# end
