Windows 2003 Installation

Will email2trac run in a windows environment?

it may be as simple as a batch file that runs

type *.msg > email2trac.py
del *.msg

In windows, the two possibilities I can think of is to scan a mail drop folder, or write a pop3 client that pipes the messages to email2trac.

I only have Unix's client to test, but we can make a pop client functionality in email2trac. If an examaple from somebody that has done it.

This is also becoming a more pressing issue for myself as without it there is a danger of being required from up above to switch away from trac. How can I help?

I recently got this working for Windows, so I created a Wiki page on the site detailing the process.

See: ​https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/email2trac/wiki/Email2tracOnWindows

Consider it a "work in progress," but hopefully it helps.

Nicole,

Thanks a lot, I renamed the page to: Email2tracInstallation/Windows and added it to the installation page.

I noticed the email notification and clicked the link which was obviously no longer valid. The new home for this wiki page is:

I often wonder why nobody has written a python POP3 client for this feature. Thankfully it hasn't become a pressing issue, but installing cygwin and fetchmail is not a very elegant solution. I'm kinda surprised installing procmail wasn't also mentioned, which could then send the messages directly into trac and avoid the bat file.

Hi Jon,

I'm sure there are solutions more elegant than mine, but I still wanted to document what works since there is very little helpful email2trac on Windows information to be found. Plus, I like Unix so using Cygwin makes me feel a little better about having to work on Windows. :)

From the relevent Trac user group discussion, two different email gathering solutions came up, so I included those. Hopefully as other people come up with working Windows solutions, they will add them to the document.

we now have a windows wiki page. So i close the ticket
