Ok, so to wrap up...

There is NOT possible to create a Mail Handler for Jira Service Desk (JSM) that do those actions:
- the mail creates a ticket in Service desk Project (JSM)
- a mail with the ticket reference in the subject adds the email message as a comment
- the first person in CC of the mail is set as "assignee" and the other cc's are set as "watchers".
This is a standard mail handler, so there shouldn't be too "buggy"

Could you confirm that @Marc -Devoteam- ?

Thanks a lot for your time !

Hi @Oliviu Nita

You can still use them but not for customers who are sending email, only for internal purpose.

JSM can only have a single request type bound to a email address, this to be used to create requests that are visible on the portal for the requesting customer.

So if this would be needed for portal facing issues, then Yes, only a single request type can be set to use the JSM handler on the JSM project.

Hi @Marc -Devoteam-

Thank you for fast reply.

I know that i can setup mail handlers on System/Incoming mail, i have a few running :)
My question is: how to configure a email handler that create a issue in our JSM project with the setup as described, the mail handlers for JSM (Service Desk) is diffèrent from other project types, if i remember correctly :D

Thanks !
