I would like to discuss the feature ‘email into joplin’. This feature adds a workflow to archive messages from your email into joplin. Ideally, the user would forward a message to a catch-address. this is practically impossible without requiring the user to host a mail server. The better option: …

I think the best is to save the mail into the cloud (supported) service in a dedicated folder that Joplin could then import. Otherwise, it is a server configuration to get the mail and a script that could extract the mail and create a MD file to be then imported

Hi there, isn’t it an idea to drag and drop Mails from the client (like thunderbird / outlook) to a note? The handle is only client side. Only an idea… Best regards, Adrian

Hi guys, this might be interesting for you: Just finished my very first draft of an “email-to-joplin gateway”. Please take a look at https://github.com/manolitto/joplin-mail-gateway Regards Manfred
