The system options for inbound emails contain Greentree-wide settings which determine the look and feel of inbound emails. These settings include whether or not inbound emails are filed, what they filed against, and the format they are filed in.
Note: If you
change these settings, you must start Listener, Greentree Desktop,
and Outlook sessions before the settings take effect.
User preferences override system option settings.
Each option and field on the form is described below. Mandatory options and fields are highlighted in red.
Enable File Inbound Emails
Select this option to file inbound Outlook emails. If this option is not selected, the Inbound Email feature is not selected and none of the other inbound email settings are enabled.
Include Attachments on Emails
Choose one of these options, which determine if inbound email attachments are filed in Greentree Desktop with the attachment or communication that the email is filed as:
Show File against Dialog in Outlook
Select this option to allocate an email to specific Greentree Desktop items after clicking the Greentree button in Outlook. The File Against dialog displays. Enter the detail of the record to file the email against — for example, against a quote. The File Against form also shows the Email To and From information.

Select this option to receive a message when attempting to file an already filed email in Greentree Desktop.
Note: You can file emails against multiple records in Greentree Desktop.
Require Password
Select this optionif users can enter their Greentree Desktop passwords when the Outlook to Greentree link is started for the session. When the user exits Greentree Desktop they must enter their Greentree Desktop password when using the Outlook to Greentree link.
File against Contacts
Select this option to file the inbound email against existing contacts in Greentree Desktop. If you select this option, Greentree Desktop files the email against any of the contacts listed in the To, From, CC, and BCC fields that match the email address of an existing CRM contact.
These options are also available:
File against Myself
This option is enabled if the File against Contacts option is selected. Select this option to file the inbound email against your own contact record in Greentree Desktop. The user's email address determines which CRM contact record to use. The Contact's email address is matched with the addresses in the To, From, CC, and BCC fields.
If a match is found, the email is filed with the CRM contact with the same email address. If a match is not found, the contact's full name is used to find a match. If found, the email is filed with the user's contact record.
If you don't select File against Myself, the current user's email address is ignored when matching the To, From, CC, and BCC fields to contacts in Greentree Desktop. The email is not matched and filed with the contact.
Create Communication records
Select this option to file inbound emails as communications instead of attachments. The communication is created with the detail of the email and created against each matched contact listed in the To, From, CC, and BCC fields.
Attach to Primary
Select this option applies to filing inbound emails as communications. Select this option if you also want the inbound email saved as an attachment on the primary record — for example, the inbound email relates to a quote. A communication is generated for the quote.
If you select this option, the inbound email is also filed as an attachment with the quote.
Exclude
Enter email addresses or email groups that you do not want create communication records for. The Excluded Email addresses/groups are matched with the email addresses in the To, From, CC, and BCC fields. No communication records are generated for the matched addresses/groups.
Mail Format
Select the format in which to save the inbound email's attachment:
DLL Version
Use this field to force using a later version of the Outlook2Greentree.dll in the \Bin folder. This ensures that the correct version is used for the function.
The version updates through the pack when a new minimum version is applicable. All later versions of the DLL are accepted. If you are trying to use the Inbound Email feature and your version of the DLL is lower than the minimum, an error message displays.
While you can enter the minimum version of the DLL in this field, you shouldn't edit the field.
Max Size
Enter the maximum size allowed for filing emails. The default is set to 0 KB. You must update this field before any emails is filed in Greentree. If you try to file an email in Greentree Desktop that is larger than the specified size, an error message displays in the Outlook dialog.

You should create template text using the subject of the outgoing emails, as the reply on the email is an inbound email which can be matched using the Re: Subject line.
