ITOL creates issues for Redmine from within Microsoft Outlook. It seamlessly integrates with the mail inspector and explorer window and to enter properties and add additional file attachments for new and existing issues.

The selected mail can be attached to the issue in the formats: Outlook MSG, MTHML and RTF. For MHTML or RTF, the mail attachments are added to the issue as separate files.

When creating an issue, the mail subject is prefixed by the issue ID. Thus, when you answer the mail and in turn get a reply, the issue ID is recognized and the related issue can be read from Redmine.

ITOL is open source and free of charge and can be used under the terms of the MIT license.

- Requested by Benoit LM at redmine.org/plugins/itol:
