Hi everyone, I’m hoping I can get a little bit of help on this. I’m not supremely tech confident so I’m sure I’ve done something wrong on my end. I’ve gone through this thread and I thought set it up correctly: https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-reply-via-email-support/14003/139 And tried a few…

I can’t because I’m not running my own server. Sometimes it’s easier to just look at a screenshot and see if you notice anything out of pla…

Here’s my setup: [Admin%20-%20The%20Eighty%20Club%20(2)] Now looking at yours, I see I should switch the pop3 polling username to the gmail reply account it looks like.
