Sure. All you need to get it to work is the ability to use wildcard
email addresses. Many providers support them so you might check with
yours. If they do, you need to create an email account that will capture
all emails sent to issue-* (for this example). You could also just try
to capture all emails sent to a sub-domain (say support.example.com).
Then go into eventum and setup a new email account, making sure to check
"Use account for email/note/draft" routing. Setup a cron to download
emails and everything should work.
