MailToTracPlugin

 While mail2trac is less mature, to the front-end user there shouldn't be considerable difference for the case of creating and responding to tickets.  From a development point of view, I would recommend mail2trac over email2trac as a point to build on since a pluggable architecture was the point since the beginning.
 
+== Processing mail from a third-party mailserver ==
+E-mails are handled by the mail2trac executable.  Normally the mail transfer software would execute this program for each incoming mail.
+
+If your Trac installation is separate from the e-mail infrastructure, you can use use [http://fetchmail.berlios.de/ Fetchmail] to download the e-mails from the external server.
