Description
Just curious if there is a way to associate the nodes that are created when an email is sent to a mailbox -> to a user. Maybe through a cck user reference field?
www.wrike.com has an email processor in which you can create to-do items by forwarding your email to a general email address. I was wondering if this was possible with Drupal and mailhandler? You could have one standard email address that all users could send an email to that would create to-do items linked to that user's email address. Then you could uses views to only show that person's to-do items created from that person's emails.
What do you think?

If I understand your question correctly, then this is the basic functionality of mailhandler...
When an email is received by mailhandler, it checks for the sender's email address. If it corresponds to a mail address of one of the users, and if that user is authorized to create content on the site, then a node is created, and assigned to the user.
You just need to make sure the node type is properly configured in the mailbox's configuration.
