Pullmail plugin for Kanboard

(Based on Mailgun Plugin)

Use your IMAP Mail account to create tasks directly by email

• Create tasks from incoming emails sent to a mailbox

Basically only makes sense for personal installations since one specific mailbox is used.

Incoming Mails for Kanboard are identified using the mails subject: kanboard+projectid:taskname Mails are deleted after task creation.

Developed using Kanboard Version: 1.0.20 http://kanboard.net/

2. Assign a project identifier to the desired projects: Project settings > Edit
