<![CDATA[Service Desk does not generate tickets from emails]]>Hello everyone, the service desk of gitlab does not seem to work. I have set up everything according to the docs. The emails arrive, but gitlab does not generate tickets. What could be the reason?

This worked some time ago...but we never actually needed the function. Now we would like to use it...but unfortunately it no longer works.

There were some issues with the incoming mail setup indeed. I have fixed this up in the package 1.90.1 . Can you please check?

I have also improved the docs here - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/gitlab/#incoming-email

I would be happy if I could get it to work soon.
I found this post, but I can't do it, because read-only filesystem.
https://gitlab.vibia.com/help/incoming_email/README.md

Enable mail_room in the init script at /etc/default/gitlab:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/default
echo 'mail_room_enabled=true' | sudo tee -a /etc/default/gitlab

Restart GitLab:

sudo service gitlab restart

Verify that everything is configured correctly:

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:incoming_email:check RAILS_ENV=production

I tried a little more today. I was able to find out that I can check the mails using the command

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:incoming_email:check RAILS_ENV=production

The result is now as follows:

Checking Incoming Email ...

Incoming Email: ... Checking Reply by email ...

IMAP server credentials are correct? ... Checking gitlab@mydomain.xyz
Checking servicedesk@mydomain.xyz
yes
Mailroom enabled? ... no
  Try fixing it:
  Enable mail_room
  For more information see:
  doc/administration/reply_by_email.md
  Please fix the error above and rerun the checks.
MailRoom running? ... can't check because of previous errors

Checking Reply by email ... Finished


Checking Incoming Email ... Finished

I've already tried a few things to activate mail_room, but I just can't do it. Does anyone have any ideas?

By default, there is no service desk configuration as well. Have you added one as well?

Did anyone else succeed in using this service desk? I haven't heard of this before at least.
