The CRM 4.0 E-mail Router with POP3

January 21st, 2008

With CRM 4.0 off and running now, I’ve been seeing a lot of questions on how to get the E-mail Router to work with POP3 mail access. I’ve recorded a video of how you can take a Gmail mailbox and hook it up to a Queue inside of CRM via the E-mail Router.

Enjoy! Next video…using the E-mail Router with an individual Exchange mailbox!

    Michael,

    Very informative video. We provide the Microsoft CRM integration to Lotus Notes and Novell GroupWise. We would love to provide an adapter so that the CRM 4 Email Router can integrate with those email systems. Do you know where can we find the documents explaining the api for developing these adapaters.

    [...] In our last episode, we hooked up the CRM 4.0 E-mail Router to a POP3 mailbox on Gmail, then pushed that mail into a CRM queue. This is a pretty stelar feature of CRM 4.0 that allows you to integrate with mail solutions outside of the Microsoft stack. [...]

    Michael, first of all great blog. It has come in handy quite a bit. My question though, is that I’ve set up my email router exactly as you did to access Gmail, but I keep receiving this message when I test: ‘Failure - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it’. Any thoughts on what the problem is?

    Using the POP3 service in the CRM Router would be great except how do you get the router to delete the email from the POP3 mail box?

    Because the email is not deleted on the server side, the CRM Router keeps downloading the same email over and over causing massive duplicates. There must be a way for the CRM Router to delete the email off the Email Server after it downloads the email. ????

    One question: Is Novell Groupwise a standard pop3/smtp mailserver?

  21. CopenhagenCRM Says:

    Another question - I watched the demo and setup myself a gmail integration for testing. But I can only make it recieve mails - when I test send facility, it fails. Can anyone make a hint on if this is possible?

  22. CopenhagenCRM Says:

    Now I got the POP email router to function correctly. But my customer don’t like this:

    Think this situation on a user:
    Primary Email: test@gmail.com
    First name: Donald
    Last name: Duck

    When I send an email the reciever gets a mail from “test@gmail.com”. But my customer would like “Donald Duck” as sender (normally “Donald Duck” syntax).

    Any clue how to solve this problem.

    HINT:
    It seems that the email router grabs “Primary Email” as sender.
    I tried to put “Donald Duck” as sender in Primary Email, but CRM won’t allow.
    I tried to make a javascript that On Save updated Primary Email field to “Donald Duck” . That succeded - but no difference in the email sent from the email router.
