XMLWordPrintable

      Duplicate issues created when email is not process correctly. A few known behaviour/root cause:

      Malformed email address in the To or CC/Bcc section caused the "Unable to create issue with message" message in the logs.

      The logs contain:

      Workaround

      • Delete the malformed-email in the mailbox.
      • If this is only occurring for certain mails, such as those with larger attachments, increasing the timeout on the mail server (not JIRA) can mitigate this problem.
