Several GROMACS power users identified that being able to reply inline in email to Discourse threads would make them much more likely to participate in the new format, rather than the old mailing list.
This is reasonably straightforward to do, e.g. https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-reply-via-email-support/14003. We need an email address to be the reply-to address. Can we get discourse-reply@bioexcel.eu or something similar? Otherwise we can make a gmail account. We’d also need to record the password somewhere for the future. @lcodo, is this something you can do? Is there anything further you need?
We already have discourse@bioexcel.eu registered but I can make a new discourse-reply@bioexcel.eu if that’s better. GMail account is fine also if it would work better. @lcodo@gelpi what do you think?
Yes, it’s a great idea! We cannot create full mail adresses not vinculated to a real user. So, we can configure the address @rossen is proposing (discourse-reply) or a new gmail account. Whatever you prefer, we can try to configure Discourse following the post @mabraham cited. Just, let us know!
Our discourse-reply@bioexcel.eu address will not work because Loopia doesn’t seem to support “plus addressing”, which is needed for that to work. I’ll register a Gmail address and use that one instead.
