RE: Incoming Email set Activity Status as Sent
Hello CRM Beginner,
Microsoft just replied on our case and this is now as designed.
If sent from and to are the same then mail is seen as outgoing.
See reply Microsoft:
This is happening:
A queue mailbox enabled for SSS send an email to itself, the email is tracked in CRM.
Before 8.2.2.1310 - the email was tracked as Incoming
After 8.2.2.1310 - the email is tracked only for Outgoing
The above is happening regardless of whether you have the option “Mark emails between CRM user as two separate activity”."
"During our investigation it was confirmed that the behavior of having the email marked as Incoming was indeed a product defect.
Update 1310 is just bringing the expected behavior back to normal, with the email marked as SENT and not as RECEIVED."
As we discussed during our call, this should only affect scenarios where a SSS-using queue mailbox is sending emails to itself. Emails received from another mailbox should still be tracked as Incoming and can be used to trigger internal workflows and create cases. I hope this will help you rebuild the Dynamics 365 logic that was used so far.
In addition, please take the time to post a suggestion in our Ideas community at https://ideas.dynamics.com/ and circulate it among your colleagues so they can upvote it. I believe there will be many such Ideas posted by other clients as well, since the fixed behavior was used by many businesses to create cases and build logic around. With enough traction, it is not impossible to have it return as a new/additional functionality in future versions.
