Action Mailbox routes incoming email to controller-like mailboxes by address, header or regex and processes them with Action Mailbox ingress adapters (Postfix, SendGrid, Mailgun) into ActiveJob for background work. The demo shows parsing attachments, extracting commands from subject lines, creating database records and sending followups, with test coverage using email fixtures. A production example handles thousands of inbound messages per day, dedupes by message-id, and recovers from failures via retryable jobs, all running successfully in Rails apps.
