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.
Wenn ich das noch einmal durchgehe, stelle ich fest, dass ich oft Teil von E-Mail-Ketten bin, die in Discourse besser aufgehoben wären. Steht das noch auf der Agenda (klar, IMAP hat nicht funktioniert).
Sie korrekt zu parsen, wäre ziemlich schwierig. Ich habe einige davon selbst manuell erledigt, was machbar, aber knifflig ist (besonders mit der Zeit).
Ich frage mich, ob ein halbautomatischer Prozess / Plugin die Aufgabe ganz gut erledigen würde. Ich denke dabei an:
Dies generiert dann ein Thema / Antworten (ohne Benachrichtigungen) als erledigt.
