+<div>
+    The <i>poll-mailbox-trigger</i> allows a build to poll an email inbox using the imap protocol.
+    When an unread email is found matching configurable criteria, it:
+    <ol>
+        <li>marks the email as read, so that it is not reprocessed</li>
+        <li>triggers a new job</li>
+    </ol>
