[Patchew-devel] [PATCH] Text to json convertor for mbox

[Shubham Jain]

Mbox would now return a dictionary object which would help REST API deserialize easily into model object.

[WIP] POST endpoint for messages.

It's a work in progress for creating new message which is improvement of legacy endpoint: "import"
