Is there any way to use the Facebook API for reading user messages?

Previously, all I ever needed to read user messages from Facebook's Graph API was a request like this: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/me/inbox&access_token=12345678 and I would be able to read from that endpoint as long as I had the read_mailbox permission. However, since they released Graph API v2.4, that permission seems to no longer exist. I was wondering if there was presently any other way to read Facebook messages, or if this functionality has effectively been removed?

Since the permission got removed, there is no way to get access to the user inbox anymore. I am pretty sure it will stay that way, for very good reasons: Privacy of users who did not authorize the App.
