[image]Configuring incoming email to create new topics or group messages forward your custom email(s) to this email address for email to topic creation to function correctly. I want users to be able to start new topics via email. I DO have the email_in setting set up in Admin panel. Excuse my ignorance, and I’ve read many configuration articles like Configuring incoming email to create new topics or group messages and searched thru the forum, but I still don’t understand what EXACT email address I’m supposed to put in the “Custom Incoming email address” box. Do I have to create a new separate email account (e.g., a gmail acct) for each Category OR is there a discourse email “system” where the email address is something like “mycategoryname@discourse.mydiscoursename.org”? Thanks for your help.
