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.
你好！
这个邮件链导入器有什么进展吗？
IMAP 已接近合并，但还需要 2-3 个月才能准备好进行大规模使用。
有什么新进展吗？
IMAP 是一场非常漫长的博弈。我们已有一些基础实现，但边缘情况实在太多。
不过，我们在支持群组拥有专用发件邮箱方面已取得了一些进展。
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：
然后，这会生成一个主题/回复（无通知），一切就绪。
