Problem posting emails to Sharepoint - sharepoint

We currently have a form for posting information with email to discussionboards in Sharepoint.
They have exaxtly the same settings for receiving emails. For some reason some of them gets the posted content and some don't. They seems to get to SMTP correctly and are shown in the Drop folder but then seems to dissapear without being added to the discussion boards.
The SMTP logs look a little strange as they contains addresses but no commands.
Anyone that can point me in the right direction?

It seems only two out of 20 discussion boards was connected to their incoming email addresses even though they all hade proper settings.
Removed the email settings for the two that was working, renamed all existing discussion boards and created new ones with the same settings and now it works.

How to rollout to all gmail users changing a sender's emails categorisation from the Promotions tab to the Primary tab in the default gmail layout?

Our company uses gsuite, and the standard gmail default layout has the tabs for Primary, Promotions, etc. It can be changed (I perfer to) but some keep the default layout.
Our mailing tool with email editor etc is external, and so has a different domain. It gets flagged as Promotions. This is an issue for all those with the default layout as they have to keep looking through Promotions for internal news.
How does an admin / IT department change where a sepcific sender's emails are categorised in these tabs in google's business suite for all users?
Things we've looked at:
I asked our IT department, and they have not found an easy setting or way to control where domains / senders are categorised.
We added the IP ranges our mailing tool sends from, however this only stops the emails being marked as Spam / suspicious. Good to have, but not a solution to tabs.
There is plenty of ways to control it for your personal inbox, and move it manually or set up rules etc as an end user. However we can't expect everytone to do this, we need a way of the admin being able to make the change and roll it out to everyone in the business.
For a seperate issue regarding rolling out email signatures to all users automatically in their inbox settings, there was a solution but required using their API and delving in code rather than an admin setting. If there's a way to somehow do it with that we're happy to explore.
Apparently this is easy to do in other ecosystems such as Microsoft, but we are yet to find an easy way to do this in Google's system. Any ideas?

Create Mail-In Database using Standard Notes Mail Template

I am trying to create a Mail-In database for a new workflow application,
internal and external mail to arrive into a view which can be accessed by any member of the team, assigned reassigned, etc etc.
Attempt 1
I started with a blank canvas created a memo form, view, frame with preview etc, embedded another team calendar in the frame etc no problem until I started to try to implement basic functionality like forward and reply - with history. Forwarding my memo/mail with the history results in a copy of what becomes the ugly header in the new form. I needed it to be formatted like it is in a reply or forward of a Notes email ie like this.
Many hours later I could not figure out how the above has been achieved in Notes.
Attempt 2
Use the standard Notes 11 mail template and using the Notes message/memo form, add my bespoke view and frameset with preview etc. Nearly works, I get the neat history on Forward, however, on previewing the mail in my frameset the preview is pushed outside of my frame covering half of the other frames, it is unuseable. It seems like there is one form on top of another, ie this is apparent when opening the mail, adding a green background to the form is only visible on Edit. Again after hours and hours of searching through code and subforms, I cannot find the cause of it. I have established though if I open my client in basic mode, ie. nlnotes then it works perfectly.
So several questions all related, am I going about it the right way. I would like to use the mail template as a lot of what I need is built in, but I need to view that database in basic mode whilst in a standard eclipse notes client, ie stop it trying to open whatever it is trying to open in the eclipse version.
Or is there a better way, ie to generate the neat From: To: history in Forwarded and Replied to emails.
I will also want any replies to be from the group email address rather then the individual user, I haven't got to that yet so I am not sure if it is a problem.
I have seen the Open NTF Team Mail project, but that is 10 years out of date, so I felt there would be more advantage in trying to use the existing mail template.
Hope that makes sense.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I suggest to create a new mail-in database and give it the right mail-template. Sometimes an application gets a hick-up and the application can't implement the template correctly. Or because of your previous tries there are design parts which shouldn't be there.
Is this the first time you create a mail-in database? Are all template elements signed correctly? Did you check the ACL, too?

SharePoint 2013 in place search issue

I am doing an in place search in a document library and results are being returned just fine. However, some users are reporting seeing the following message:
Some files might be hidden. Include these in your search
I also receive this message at random times for different searches. There seems to be reports of this on various boards with no real answer. Anyone know why this message would occur?
This may relate to the Search Service Settings > Content Source in Central Admin. Ensure that the addressers are correct and that the crawl have the same entry as you do. Normally you want to point the url to the default zone.
When done, reset the index and start a new full crawl.

using mail server to communicate with jira using api

im new to jira and its mail handlers.i want to use the jira's mail handlers to scan two folders in my mail box.and update two projects related to those folders. and i did that.
but now i want to extend that functionality.i want to keep the mails in those folders (stop mail handlers from deleting it after processing) and make it able to move issues/tasks across projects simply by moving the associated mail from the folder to the other folder. resulting in deletion of the original issue/task from that project and creating it in the other folder. please help in making this a possibility.
for those who didnt understand my problem: imagine im sending a cv for the post of php developer to a mail. when the reciepent checks it, he puts it in the php folder in his mailbox.so then a task is created in the project php developers. but next the reciepents thinks im more suitable in web developement rather than in php. so he just moves the mail from php folder to the web folder.so the existing task in php project gets deleted and a new task is created under web developement project. can i do this? if so how? please guide me..
Update
sigh..
i dont know how to work with corporate people. now the situation has changed. i hope you could help me with this one.sorry about the sudden change in the question..again...
now my boss wants sth like this.
i created a mail client using imap function to access mail services and retrieve those mails to a web function. theres no problem in that. but now my boss wants to handle jira through that same app aswell. means as like the my question when moving, putting a mail to a folder the app it self should comunicate with jira and make the necesary issue creation and deletion.. is this possible #Kuf?? if so please help. because my deadline is due Wednesday. and im almost there to panic..lol..please forgive me for changing questions like this. as it is not my will..
edit
I have seen that rest api does this. but how to use it? any answers?
The simplest way I found was to receive the emails in your main account and forward them to a second account, while saving a copy on the mail server. Than, tell Jira to pull the emails from the second email.
UPDATE
In the past, I've looked for a way to change Jira's email handler functionality, as you can see in this question here. It is impossible to achieve what you're asking using Jira's email handler because the way it works, it does not keep records of which emails were already read, Jira's service checks for new emails, ignores emails according the pre-defined filters (spam or user defined), handles the rest of the emails, and deletes them so it won't process them again.
The way I can think of to get the functionality you want is to re-write the email handler, you can get the source code, re-write it, and build it into your Jira app.
Another way, which i find easier, is to get all the emails into Jira, and from within Jira move the issues from one project to another. You can even create pre-defined buttons using Jira Scripting Suite to easily move issues between projects (create a post function and attach it to workflow transition).
If you need any help let me know. Good luck!
EDIT 2
Which Jira version do you use? which actions are you planning to do using the remote API? Jira REST API is the newest, but some of the old APIs have capabilities that are lacking in REST. To try and decide which API suits you, have a a look at JIRA Remote API Reference.
If you decide to use the REST API, I suggest that you read Jira's Getting Started with REST manual, which shows how to use the REST API. For the full documentation check out JIRA REST API documentation (make sure to use the right version according to your Jira version).

SharePoint - set reply-to in a workflow

I have my SharePoint server set to send e-mails from a dedicated e-mail box. However, I have a workflow that sends an e-mail out to a particular group, and I want replies from that group to go instead to a different e-mail box.
I know that BCC is a hidden field in a workflow that can be changed; I don't see anything for reply-to. So I'm not sure that there's an easy way to do it. What options do I have? I know there's a tool on CodePlex that does a lot with e-mail activities, but I think that might be overkill.
I appreciate any suggestions, advice, etc. Thanks very much!
Basically, you can't specify a reply-to email address using SharePoint Designer out of the box. Since it is a workflow, you can create a Custom Workflow action that would allow you to do anything you want (including send an email with a reply-to address). This is a pretty involved process and will require C# code.
