Help: it doesn't work to use emails to create issues!

Question

First I have set up a "Pop/IMAP mail server" on "Incoming Mail" page and it says "The connection was successful." if click "Test Connection" button.

Then I set up a "Mail Handler", however, it shows message "No messages in mailbox" when I click "Test" button, the detail information is: "No messages were found in this mailbox. To properly test this handler, populate your mailbox with a few emails first and re-run the test. Found 0 unprocessed message(s) in the imaps folder."

Actually, there is email on incoming box.

Is there anything wrong?

Hello,

The problem is resolved if I set "Protocol" as "POP" instead of "IMAP". Thank you so much for the help.

Hello,

I have tried the user that is sending the email could actually create issues manually. But it still doesn't work yet and tells "No messages in mailbox."

Hello

You don't necessarily need to put the Default Reporter; if you fill that field all your issues will have the Default Reporter as the creator of the issue. But anyhow the original email has to be of a valid user with the appropriate permissions for browsing your project, creating issues in your project and adding comments in your project.

So first make sure that the user that is sending the email can actually create issues manually.
