Hi!
I'm having kind of a challenge.
I'm trying to redirect received e-mails from a shared account in Outlook to a SharePoint task list. By doing so two steps are required:
1. Converting the received e-mail in the shared account's inbox to a task - which unfortunately, as I understand it, with no way of redirecting it, will end up in that same shared account's task list in Outlook.
2. Move the task from that account's task list to the SharePoint task list.
I found a Macro that converts the e-mail to a task and it works perfectly. And if I mark, drag and drop the task from the Outlook default task list in to the SharePoint list it works just fine, but when I try to use a Macro doing this it just doesn't work. If I put up a rule telling that all received e-mails in this account should be moved to that SharePoint list and then run the Macro to convert it to a task, it just moves the e-mail. The conversion never takes place. Though if I just run the conversion Macro it really works. The e-mail becomes a task - but unfortunately placed in the wrong directory.
It seems as if the Macro can't be run after a move on the e-mail has occured.
Any work-arounds? Preferably a way to do this on the local machine since involving other departments further up the ladder will just add to my hardship
Thanks in advance!
