Hmm. So basically the issue is security. Maybe Commons could have a "mobile upload key" that you could obtain by typing in your credentials? That key could then be parsed by the mail server. Just a thought over coffee... Jane
I guess this can be solved if e-mails are sent to OTRS, but I am not sure we have enough OTRS capacity to handle this, even for a month. May be uploading to Flickr first is just plain easier.
Flickr offers upload by email doesn't it? You only have to set up special email addresses with a secret key in them. I agree that it's difficult to manage properly nowadays, it's something which will be easier to implement as an app when/if https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth is available.
