Hi all, Found some time to work on this so just providing a little update for anyone who has the same question. The Graph Poller Plugin works great for incoming emails and allows users to respond to a topic using email. The base email address is [discourse@domain.com](mailto:discourse@domain.com) Using an alias in Microsoft365 didn’t seem to work when assigning them to specific categories, emails sent to [alias1@domain.com](mailto:alias1@domain.com) would act as though they had gone to [discourse@domain.com](mailto:discourse@domain.com) What did work was using + addresses for specific categories. Category1 is assigned the custom incoming address of [discourse+category1@domain.com](mailto:discourse+category1@domain.com), category2 is assigned custom incoming address of [discourse+category2@domain.com](mailto:discourse+category2@domain.com) and it works as expected. Cheers, Josh (We have set up outbound emails to send via postfix, this is for incoming emails only) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/query-about-creating-topics-in-a-category-using-email/284935)._
