Group Mail

Groupmail aims to provide a way for a team (a Tiki group) to process email contact requests, act on them and record the process in wiki pages. The feature started in Tiki3/Tiki4 days, stopped working some years later, and it was brought back to life in Tiki20.

There is significant work done for Tiki-Cypht in 21, 22, 23 so it's recommended to run the latest stable version of Tiki. (Or even trunk if you are a developer). Most enhancements and many fixes will not be backported as there are lots of changes. There has not been testing on Groupmail. Please report any issues.
