I am trying replicate the functionality of yahoo or google groups. That is, the ability to allow people to have discussions via email that are also stored on the web as threaded discussions and are searchable. I've tried some combinations of modules but haven't come up with anything that does quite what I want.
I'd like this to work withing Organic Groups. I did activate Forum, and installs OG Forum and Subscription and Subscription OG so that group members should be able to receive email notice of posts to the Group's forum, but to reply they will have to return to the site.
I'm running 5.7 on this site.
Thanks for any help offered.
Mailhandler may meet all of your needs. In fact I strongly suspect that it will.
http://drupal.org/project/mailhandler
If that doesn't do all that you wish, check out Notifications/ Messaging and the Mail to Web module:

The other advice you've received is good, but yet another related modules is the og2list module http://drupal.org/project/og2list
Especially since you want this to work for organic groups that seems like a good choice.

Unfortunately, og2list has not received a lot of support - there's still not a release beyond 4.7, though the folks at the PostCarbon Institute have been doing a lot of development work of late, for their own site, and contributing it back. Take a look at http://og2list.postcarbon.org/about
It's a shape that og2list hasn't received a larger following - it's a really cool module.
For another example of forum/list integration, take a look at http://groupserver.org/ - now that's the kind of functionality that it would be nice to have in Drupal. Unfortunately, it's a not-quite-open-source effort (the developers put most of their effort into their hosted version).
probably the mail-handler module will help you, in conjunction with list-handler. The problem is that it requires some php libraries, and not all providers want install them. It's a pitty, but it's quite difficult to manage a mailing-list only with drupal. You should have some administrative privileges with your domain.

There's also the Listhandler module which uses Mailhandler to process incoming emails. Use the README file in the Listhandler archive as a guide on how to set up both Mailhandler and Listhandler (the online documentation is pants - I've raised an issue to get that fixed).
