Email to Message Inbox?

Soutien

Is it possible to configure Discourse so that I have an email address @ my Discourse domain which goes to my message inbox on Discourse?

Groups can be assigned email addresses to start new conversations, but not users. Discourse isn’t a replacement for a conventional mail server/client.

That’s sort of true, but support@discourse.org gets delivered to a group.

Sure, but discourse.org is hosted at Google, not Meta. I’ve never had cause to email it, but it’s either a group which distributes mail to users, a mailbox which is accessed by multiple users, or an alias to a mailbox which is delivered by pop3 to a Discourse category or group inbox, right?

@rkaplan is asking for an email address at his discourse domain which goes to his mailbox. User mailboxes don’t support mail aliases, which is why I said that groups could have mail aliases, but not users.

Nice, I didn’t know about this feature. For others who have a hard time finding it:

  1. Enable config setting “email in” under “☰ → Admin → Settings → Email”.

  2. Go to “☰ → Admin → Groups → <choose group> → Manage → Interaction” and set “Email: Custom incoming email address”.

    (This setting is not visible before enabling “email in” in the previous step.)

If the OP wants the email to message inbox feature only for a few users (say, staff members), it will be acceptable to configure it manually for each of these users. Then, the above technique together with groups with one member only are a suitable option.

The “custom incoming email address” of each group can still be set in format “Discourse username @ my Discourse domain”.

Fait intéressant, cela fonctionne :

  1. Créez un nouveau groupe admins_messaging dans Discourse
  2. Lorsque les e-mails entrants sont activés, ce groupe peut être contacté directement via une adresse e-mail quelque peu compliquée mais fonctionnelle : ourdomain+admins_messaging@discoursemail.com

Cependant, essayer de tromper le système en envoyant un e-mail au groupe admin existant à cette adresse ne fonctionne pas :
ourdomain+admins@discoursemail.com

Existe-t-il un moyen d’envoyer des e-mails depuis l’extérieur aux groupes admin ou moderator ?
Sinon, existe-t-il un moyen de rediriger/transférer les messages reçus du groupe admin_messaging créé vers le groupe admin ?
