Handle Emails That Email to Salesforce Doesn’t Assign to
Records
When emails are sent to Salesforce via Email to Salesforce
or Salesforce for Outlook, some are assigned to related records based on your Email to
Salesforce settings. The rest are added to My Unresolved Items, where you assign them to
related Salesforce records or confirm that you want to leave them unassigned.
Required Editions
Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience (only when
prompted to resolve Salesforce for Outlook items from the Windows system tray)
Available in: All Editions except Personal Edition
User Permissions
Needed
To view or edit unresolved emails:
Edit on tasks and Read on the objects that you assign to the
email
AND

Lookup Auto-Completion in Search Settings
Access your unassigned emails in My Unresolved Items.
Choose one of these actions.
Assign to related records: Enter a related record in one or both fields. If you
need to, select the correct record type from the drop-down list. If you assign a lead,
you can’t assign more records. To cancel an assignment, clear an entry.
Leave unassigned: The text Unresolved Email: is removed
from the subject line, and the email is assigned to you as a completed task. If the
task’s Status picklist includes more than one
“completed” status, Salesforce uses the first one.
Save your changes. Assigned emails are added to the associated records. All modified items
are removed from the list.
