Email this incoming mail handler not creating issues in jira

Hema TB December 5, 2018

I have created mail handler with "Email This mail handler" and there are messages in the inbox but when I test run the mail handler it's showing "found 0 unprocessed messages in the pop3 folder". Kindly help to resolve this issue. I want to know why it is not creating issue even though there are messages in the inbox. Is there any problem with the type of incoming mail handler I have taken i.e "Email this mail handler". 

 

Thanks in Advance

Could you also please share the screenshot of the mail server "Liabilities", is that working fine? Have you tested the connection. Since both mail server and mail handler should be configured correctly in order for it to work well.

Yes, Test connection is successful. Still, issues are not getting generated in Jira. Kindly suggest me how to resolve this issue.

Hello @Hema TB

Do you see anything in the logs, are there any processing errors? does the email have some pictures (in signature) which might be resulting in this error

Hello @Hema TB

It seems you are using the plugin, while configuring this plugin did you test the connection, was it able to fetch the emails?

Hi @Tarun Sapra

Yes, I did the test run but its showing 0 Messages are processed in the pop3 folder even though there are messages in the mailbox.

Kindly refer the below screenshot.

Also, if the POP email address outside of your jira domain, i.e. can you jira server reach out to the server hosting the mail address

Kindly check the below screenshot.

The mail handler type is "Email this issue mail handler" and issues are not getting generated in the jira.

If we installed Email This Issue Plugin then will get Email this issue handler type also.
