CRM server side synch with an exchange inbox not picking up rerouted emails with a different To address

Have an incoming connection with a specific inbox in exchange. Let's say email_1@example.com.
There are customers sending emails directly to this address (email_1@example.com) which CRM reads and imports into the main queue perfectly.
We have two other older accounts that customer from other areas still use (email_2@example.com and email_3@example.com) which have reroute rules on exchange that send the email directly to email_1@example.com with the intention that CRM will simply bring them in the main queue. The only difference (when I open the email_1@example.com in OWA is that the To address of those emails is email_2@example.com or email_3@example.com).

Any ideas on why CRM refuses to read those in ?

Hello George,

CRM does not pic up the re-routed emails because they appear under a different sender other than the one specified incoming in CRM.

Hi Magor. Any suggestions ? Can I have multiple incoming connections to the same inbox for the different recipients ? I am going to need to tie them all to the same queue however.

You could turn off the reroute, and let CRM handle the old email addresses directly. Then set up a workflow that checked what the incoming email address was whenever a new email record was created, and send them all to the proper common queue.

Hello George,

Wayne beat me to it :) He's spot on, I'd recommend this approach myself.

Hello All,

Thank you so much for your valuable insight. This is how ended up configuring the system.

Stopped all exchange rerouting to the main inbox (email_1@example.com)

Did indeed allow CRM to handle all the inboxes separately by the following:

Set-up two additional users/accounts in CRM email_2@example.com and email_3@example.com.

Configured the email boxes and queues with server side synchronization options. Activated and approved the email addresses.

Since I had my only incoming connection on the CRM email router configured with the email_1@example.com account (Note: they would not give me an account with admin access on exchange) I had to a. give full rights and b. set impersonation rules on that account (in Exchange) for email_2@example.com, email_3@example.com.

Once all of the above were configured email started flowing into CRM. Never had to write a workflow to transfer queues as my "Emails available to work on" queues is an All queues view with a filter.

It's a beautiful world !

Thanks you all for you valuable feedback.
