Incoming Mail Accounts

To use mail handlers and process your incoming emails to create or modify issues, first the incoming Mail Accounts should be configured. Due to security reasons, the Email This Issue addon can not access the mail servers in Jira itself, so mail accounts should be configured within Email This Issue's Administration interface

Click on the Add button to create a new Mail Account. A Mail Account edit dialog is shown.

Email This Issue supports login and OAuth authentication mechanisms for Mail Accounts. You can select it by selecting the correct protocol:

• POP3, IMAP: log in with username and password
• OAuth for Gmail/Gsuite: OAuth2

The content of the dialog changes based on the authentication method you select.

Login

Currently Email This Issue does not delete processed emails and only the Inbox folder can be processed. Before saving the Mail Account, please use the "Test Connection" button to check if Email This Issue is able to connect to your mailbox.

After creating Mail Accounts, go to Mail Handlers to configure the actions that should be executed when processing new emails

OAuth 2.0 Settings

OAuth authentication is currently supported for both Google and Microsoft 365 accounts.

If you want to use OAuth 2.0 authentication, select this option with the appropriate protocol. A new dropdown list and button will appear below the protocol selector. 

OAuth 2.0 Settings for Google

1. Select the Client Credentials you created on the credentials page
2. Enter the user name to the mail account you want to use
3. Click on the "Authorize with Google" button to grant access to Email This Issue to fetch emails from your account
4. In the dialog select the account which belongs to the email address you use for login:
   
   If you have multiple Google accounts select the one which's email matches the username in the Mail Account dialog. Emails will be fetched from that account
5. If you get this warning, click Advanced
   
   and then "Go to meta-inf.hu (unsafe)":
   
6. Confirm your choice:
   
   Click "Allow"

Now you can receive emails in Email This Issue from Gsuite with OAuth Authentication.

If you want to revoke the access from Email This Issue to your Gmail account, you can do this the by visiting Account Settings
