This can be achieved via the rails console: Allow email in for moderators, staff, and admins UX Well, since nobody told me that was completely stupid, I’ve gone and tested this rails command on a little used instance. And it seems to work (so far)! Use at your own risk and backup first To add an email-in address Group.where(name: "=groups.name=").update(incoming_email: "=groups.name=@=domain=") To remove an email-in address Group.where(name: "=groups.name=").update(incoming_email: nil) But I think it would be a useful feature to have in core for those who can’t access the console.
