Do you want to be able to reply to email notifications?
For that to work you need to make the "Sitemaster email" property be the same email address
as one accepting email defined below. It is also highly recommended that your new-issue-notifications
contain the full description of the issue and not just the title.
For this to work you first have to create at least one POP3 account.
This is how it works:
You create one or more POP3 accounts.
For each account you define one or more email address which is dedicated
to accepting emails into the IssueTracker.
For each email address you define what Sections, Type and Urgency the
issue should take if it's not obvious from the subject line of the email.
The email sender can override these by mentioning certain
words in the subject line in a special format.
It is your responsibility to periodically trigger the search for new emails.
Read more about periodically checking for email and for a list of examples of how the email sender can compose the
subject of the email see the bottom of this page.
POP3 Account If you want to you can test the account. To see if we can connect and get the POP3 servers welcome message.POP3 Account details

At least a type called "feature request" nomatter if a you have type called "bug report" |
Note:
Case does not matter.
A : sign (or [square brackets]) must be present for any interesting extraction
Office, Urgent: There is a bug... and [Office, Urgent] There is a bug... yields exactly the same result
Data is extracted in the order: sections -> type -> urgency. So if there are words that belong to more than one, this order is respected.
