Automatically Creating news item from an E-mail

I am currently testing out ST for my site. I would like to be able to have companies, etc., e-mail in their press-releases and have them be automatically imported as a news item. In other words, have the system check an E-mail account: news@foo.com and download the new press releases or news items. Then have those items go into the news queue.

Is this possible? How is it done if this is already a feature?

Thanks in advance!

Chris

Yes, the licensed version already support this.

To enable POP3 import under the licensed version:
cadmin => Other/Websites => Edit => Mail Server

Mail Server (News)
Host name (e.g. mail.yourdomain) of your POP3 mail server

Username
POP3 user name

Password
POP3 password

You need to have the IMAP PHP extension enabled to use the email import feature in Storyteller.
