Yep. Read the thread to see the issues other faced; but yeah, it just checks that email box, and starts threads from the messages received there.

Obvious security issues aside, it does seem to do what you're looking for. You'll obviously be setting up a specific (and secret) email box exclusively for this. Maybe even change the address regularly, and cross your fingers it gets no spam.

As I'd mentioned, it didn't work with my particular PHP compile... so I had to find something else. Maybe it'll work for you; let us know.
