These pages documented very straightforward screens and flows that a user can easily figure out without the help of dedicated documentation. Besides, those screens are frequently reworked, thus requiring to maintain the related pages very closely. This commit removes such low values pages to reduce the technical debt and allow focusing on actually useful documentation pages.

Create Project's Tasks from an Email Alias
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
When you already have an email address that customers know from the top of their heads, changing
|
|
it is the last thing you want to do. Instead, link that address to your project and transform
|
|
those conversations into structured work. It automatically creates a task in the first stage
|
|
of a project.
|
|
|
|
Set up an incoming email server
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
| On the *Settings* application, enable *External Email Servers* and define the incoming email
|
|
alias you would like to use.
|
|
| **For more information**: :doc:`../../discuss/advanced/email_servers`
|
|
|
|
Configure the email alias in your project
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
| Now that you have the incoming email server set up, go to
|
|
:menuselection:`Project --> Configuration --> Projects --> Edit`. Under the *Emails* tab, define
|
|
the wanted email alias and choose the policy to receive a message.
|
|
| In addition, you can now directly set it when creating a new project.

All the recipients of the email (To/Cc/Bcc) are automatically added as followers of the task.
|
|
|
|
The email can be seen under the name of your project on the dashboard.
