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.
@sam We are waiting… 
@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 yet, still on the pipe though
Pestering. Just pestering. Any word?
Not there yet, we have IMAP support by @dan in progress which will unlock some of this.
Hello!
Any luck with this email chain importer yet? 
IMAP is getting pretty close to merge, but it will take 2-3 month prior to being ready for usage at scale.
anything on the horizon?
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.
بالعودة إلى هذا، غالبًا ما أجد نفسي جزءًا من سلاسل البريد الإلكتروني التي ستكون أفضل بكثير في Discourse. هل هذا لا يزال قيد الاهتمام (من الواضح أن IMAP لم ينجح).
ستكون معالجتها بشكل صحيح صعبة للغاية. لقد قمت ببعضها بنفسي يدويًا، وهو أمر ممكن ولكنه صعب (خاصة مع الوقت).
أتساءل عما إذا كانت عملية شبه آلية / إضافة ستؤدي المهمة بشكل جيد. أفكر في:
يقوم هذا بعد ذلك بإنشاء موضوع / ردود (بدون إشعارات) كأمر واقع.
