导入之前的邮件

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… :wink:

@YoavNordmann & @Cozdabuch, if you could send me (regis.hanol@discourse.org) some (< 10) of these email chains I would truly appreciate it. :+1:

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 :wink:

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? :smiley:

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.

重新审视这个问题,我发现自己经常参与一些电子邮件链,而这些内容用 Discourse 会更合适。这是否还在考虑之中(显然 IMAP 没有成功)。

正确解析它们会非常困难。我自己偶尔手动做过一些,虽然可行但很棘手(尤其是时间方面)。

我想知道是否有一个半自动化的流程/插件可以很好地完成这项工作。我想到的是:

  1. 标题/类别
  2. 日期/时间选择器
  3. 用户选择器,允许创建暂存用户
  4. 可以复制进来的帖子文本
  5. 能够添加任意数量的回复,内容相同

然后,这会生成一个主题/回复(无通知),一切就绪。
