Currently, LR's MB to email integration involves the following:
1) Configuring a new MX entry for a subdomain (e.g. new MX for events.liferay.com domain)
2) Configuring mail server to forward all mail sent to a given domain into one inbox
3) Configure Liferay Portal to listen to that inbox.

Liferay will read from the inbox and place the message into the correct thread/category based on the To address.

This does not work in situations where you cannot add another MX entry.

Implementation now allows for LR Email integration to use either the subdomain approach or using a defined mailbox.

WARNING: Method signature change for com.liferay.portal.kernel.pop.MessageListener. Will impact all EXT and Plugins environments that use pop message listener feature.
