Hi, can someone explain what the function is of “Custom incoming email address” for Groups? I have set up email address for topic categories to allow users to post new topics via email, but what does this setting in the “Groups” settings do? :slightly_smiling: Allow you to send messages to all users of the group via email (like a mailing list?

You might want to read this topic :wink: [图片] Discourse as a private email support portal Feature Purpose We would like to set it up so Discourse can act as a private email support portal for a team.
