An e-mail message does not cause a corresponding Microsoft CRM e-mail activity to be created when you receive a reply from an AOL e-mail client (892516)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft CRM 1.2

CRM SE:1112

SYMPTOMS

When you receive a reply to a Microsoft Business Solutions CRM e-mail from an America Online (AOL) e-mail client, the e-mail message does not cause a corresponding Microsoft CRM e-mail activity to be created.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the Microsoft CRM user account that is the intended recipient of the e-mail message is configured to create Microsoft CRM e-mail activities only for existing Microsoft CRM e-mail activities. This problem occurs because replies to e-mail messages that originated in Microsoft CRM and that are sent from an AOL e-mail client use the ISO-8859-1 character set for the subject. The Microsoft CRM-Exchange E-Mail Router does not try to decode the subject before it parses the e-mail message for the Microsoft CRM token. Therefore, the e-mail message is identified as an unsolicited e-mail message.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft CRM has a fix for this problem that is part of a cumulative update. The cumulative update information is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

904435 Update Rollup 2 is available for Microsoft CRM 1.2
