Is there a way to import older mails into discourse which hold discussions.
I have a lot of chain mails which contains valuable Q&A sessions. I want to import all of this data into discourse and make it searchable.
All of the mails or on gmail.
Thanks for the help

Note, this is a feature we really want to get to. “Forward long email chain to Discourse and have it untangle it, staging users and creating multiple replies”, unfortunately it is a devilishly hard problem. We hope to make some progress here in the next 12 months.

@YoavNordmann & @Cozdabuch , if you could send me (regis.hanol@discourse.org ) some (< 10) of these email chains I would truly appreciate it.

Regis,
I didn’t ever see you replied till now. (Little late).
Unfortunately I can’t forward any of our chains as they are internal discussions.
Have you had any luck with your work on the email chain importer?

Not there yet, we have IMAP support by @dan in progress which will unlock some of this.

IMAP is getting pretty close to merge, but it will take 2-3 month prior to being ready for usage at scale.

IMAP is a very very long game. We have some basic implementation but there are just so many edge cases.
We are though making some good headway around allowing a group to have a dedicated outgoing email box.
