Origins

The project started off as a fork of the Confluence-Mail-to-News-Plugin by Liip AG. But the source code has been completely refactored and we added plenty of new features, bugfixes and tests. The plugins are not compatible to another anymore. Therefore we decided to publish this project on its own.

Formerly this plugin was named Mail2Blog, but since version 2.0 this plugin is capable of creating pages and blog posts and was renamed to Email to Confluence.
