EDIT This error comes only on local machine and not on app engine

Answer 1

Do you have the latest version of the API? for the incoming mail function need to be the 1.2.6 or greatest.

Later i saw in google groups the "solution" I quote Joshua Smith

"I've found that you need to restart the local dev environment before

doing any inbound mail testing. Otherwise, you'll get that read error"

So every time that you change your code you MUST restart the server, even if only add white spaces (seriously)
