This might not be the best idea even if it is possible, but is it possible to assign a custom email to a user for PM purposes? I know how to enable email-in and also custom emails for groups. We have a need to give some elected people an email address on our domain. I am aware I can give them an email address, but if I could tie it into the forum direct to their PMs, they wouldn’t have to remember separate logins or set up email on their computers.
Edit: I suppose I could create a group for each elected official, but seems strange to create a “group” with a sole member.

Nevertheless, that’s the best solution.
