Each person has a unique email address for each project. That address lets Breeze know who is sending the email and where it's supposed to go.

  3. Click on the "Project setting" link.
  4. Get your email address Project inbox address

Send an email to this address to automatically create a new task. The subject of the email is the task name, body is the task description and attachments will be linked to this task.
