Simulate an incoming email from the Incoming Mail Server form

Fetchmail Incoming Test

This module lets you simulate an incoming email directly from Odoo, without a real mail server or SMTP client.

It adds a Simulate Incoming Email button (and matching Action menu entry) on the Incoming Mail Server, opening a small composer (From, To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, Body). On send, the email is used as if it had been fetched from a server, it is then routed by alias and creates the target record (helpdesk ticket, lead, task, …).

It is meant for testing mail-driven flows on environments that have no inbound mail server, like test instances.

Usage

To use this module, follow these steps:

• Go to Settings > Technical > Email > Incoming Mail Servers.

• Open a saved server, or select one in the list.

• Click Simulate Incoming Email (button on the form, or the Action menu).

• Fill in the composer:

  • To: the alias that routes to your target model, e.g. a Helpdesk team alias.

  • From, Cc, Bcc, Subject, Body as needed.

• Click Send.

The message goes through the standard mail gateway and the created record (e.g. a Helpdesk ticket) appears, just as if the email had been received.
