Inbound Email to a Group - E-mails not automatically assigned to an account/contact.

[Axy]

Hi Everyone,

We've noticed a bug (filed as bug number 25635) where e-mails that are imported into a group, via the Inbound E-mail option, are not automatically assigned to the account that the e-mail address matches. We have over 8000 accounts and trying to find the right account that matches the e-mail is a right pain to do manually.

Anyone have any unofficial fixes for this?

We're using 5.1A

Regards,
Craig.

In the ./modules/InboundEmail.php's importOneEmail function is a commented out section that says...

////    LINK APPROPRIATE BEANS TO NEWLY SAVED EMAIL
//$contactAddr = $this->handleLinking($email);
////    END LINK APPROPRIATE BEANS TO NEWLY SAVED EMAIL
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Should that contactAddr line have its comment removed, for this functionality to work?

In the handleLinking function, it looks as if valid e-mail addresses are linked to leads, contacts and accounts if the e-mail matches.

Any thoughts?

(This is applicable to version 5.1.a)

Craig.
