    Hi Eagle0473,

    Please note, the aforesaid solution will only work when we’ve User and Contact records with the same email address. It will not work if the sender of the email exists only as a User in the CRM and not as a Contact or an Account.

    Thus in such situation, enable the automatic creation of the sender of the Email as a Contact. With that you will be reaching to the point where the above solution could be implemented.
    To enable it, you just need to select the ‘Create records for email from unknown senders’ checkbox in the Automatic Record Creation Rule.

    Legacy web client:
