How to run a rake task to fetch emails

Hi, I need to configure my Redmine to enable it to commute a mail to a task. So I have a mail address to which issues are sent by Redmine users, and I want this mail to become automatically a task.

I have read that it can be done by fetching mail by IMAP server at the following link:

http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineReceivingEmails#Fetching-emails-from-an-IMAP-server

and a do want to try it.

My biggest issue is that I don't know really well how to run the rake task (Pardon me, I am not so skilled). I guess I have to identify the correct Redmine directory, but I don't know how (I have gut a poor basic Linux knowledge).

Can anyone explain me how to work it out?

Thank you really in advance (sorry for my poor english too).

I'm not particularly familiar with Rails in general or Redmine in particular so can't really offer much help. Perhaps try asking on the Redmine forums?

Hi there,

I've configured IMAP fetching from a gmail account, by configuring the plugin you can find at the following link:

https://github.com/luismaia/redmine_email_fetcher

I have tested the plugin, and it works but, unfortunately, when I run fetch (getting no errors) I cannot visualize any new signalation.

Any idea of the reason why nothing new is shown?

Thx in andvance, really.
