JIRA's mail handler cannot create issues

JIRA's mail handler cannot create issues for all the emails which arrived in mailboxes when the server was down.

How can I create issues from the mail present in the mail boxes?

Hey @RG ,

By default Jira only takes a short timeframe of mails to process.

There is a workaround to have it create issues from older ones (https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-configure-jira-service-management-to-process-old-emails-806455097.html) but be carefull and test this first.

Hi @RG If All the older emails are unread in mailbox ? Then go the mail handler >> Click Edit >> Click "Test". It create issues of the email which are missed. 

 

Thanks

@RG  Yes, mark emails unread and then click on Test in Mail Handler. It should work. 

Thanks

have you cliked on Test in Mail handler ? 

If yes, try to search issues in JIRA...i am sure it should work.

If Your mailbox have lots of email..it take time in creating issues of all emails.

Its not processing old emails(arrived in mailbox when the JIRA services were down) but processing new ones.
