Check Server Identity

RFC 2595 specifies additional checks that must be performed on the server's certificate to ensure that the server you connected to is the server you intended to connect to. This reduces the risk of 'man in the middle' attacks.

Read Strategy

Read Unread and Mark As Read - Only the unread emails in the mailbox are to be processed and once read, they will be flagged as read (Default). 

Read All and Delete - All the emails in the mailbox will be read and deleted after they are successfully processed.

NOTE:

  • You should be fully aware of the changes you make when switching between strategies as it can potentially impact your allowance.

For example: UserA has been using Read Unread and Mark As Read read strategy for past 5+ months and currently has over 2000 emails residing in the inbox. However, the user has now decided to switch the read strategy over to Read All and Delete and the consequence of this turned out that all the mails residing in the inbox folder were processed by JEMHC which resulted to exceeding the allowance. 

  • Potential impact - POP Mail Server configuration may override the instructions given by JEMHC.

For example: read strategy (in JEMHC) has been set to Read Unread and Mark As Read and the Mail Server (POP) has been configured to Delete Gmail's copy once it has been processed. The end result of this would be the processed mail will be deleted from the inbox as per configuration.


...

In order to support email integration for users with no Jira user account, JEMHC needs to store email addresses in custom fields. Select what custom field is used to store a non-Jira email sender's name and address. You can also choose what where additional user email recipients (CC and BCC) are stored.

.

(warning) Owing to choices Atlassian made long ago, the default readonly “Email Participants” field created by the app (should be a TEXT type) was implemented by Atlassian as a single line field, this may impact you if more than a handful of email-only ‘additional recipients’ would be involved. If you plan to use this feature extensively, you should pre-create another “Email Participant Addresses” field or similar that is of type text multi-line, then, in the wizard, pick that instead of the bundled field that is limited to 255 chars.

If you see a warning that a field isn’t present on the projects issue screen (as above), click the link in the message. You will then be able to associate the field with the appropriate screen related to your project

Until the mail server setting has been used, its status will be 'unknown'.  To validate this, use the ping action, loacated under the more actions icon. Here, the outcome is that the SMTP server is now Online (this would have happened anyway on first actual usage):

...

Recent outbound notifications can be reviewed through: Auditing > Outbound Messages, you can see the outbound message configuration tests sent using ping.

...

The Auditing > Events view shows the webhook events sent by Jira, and indicates whether they were handled or not.  Any Jira issue actions that trigger events matching the selected notification mapping(s) will be shown in the Events view:
