Enabling Automatic Deletion of Queue Emails from Dynamics CRM 4.0

  • Articolo

Dynamics CRM 4.0 does not automatically delete the emails from the exchange mailbox of the queue. This results in the mailbox filling up with Emails which are not needed, as the activities are already created within the Dynamics CRM 4.0 application.

To automatically delete emails from within the mailbox of a queue, one would need to follow the steps below.

Important: Make a copy of the Microsoft.CRM.Tools.emailAgent.xml file located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft CRM Email\Services  and move it to a backup folder

1. Once the  Microsoft.CRM.Tools.emailAgent.xml is backed up, please open the file using visual Studio

2. On Opening the file locate the portion which refers to your queue. for example mentioned below my Queue is called Support with an Email address Support@adventureworks.local.

<EmailAddress> support@adventurework.local </EmailAddress>

(see below)

3. Change the  deploymentId for the queue to “Manual”

<ProviderConfiguration deploymentId="Manual">

4. Change the <DeleteEmails>false</DeleteEmails> to true

<DeleteEmails>true</DeleteEmails>

5. Save the XML file. Once saved the Support details within the XML would look like this

6. Log in to the CRM web application using an account with administrative privileges within CRM application

a. Click on Settings
b. Click on Business Management
c. Click on Queues
d. Double click the queue that we edited in the XML file
e. Under E-mail Access Configuration, set None for E-mail Access type – Incoming

7. Restart the Microsoft CRM Email Router or the changes will not take effect

    The only problem I experience with this is that when I go make changes in the email router config manager and publish, it appends a new section in the xml file for the queue under the original deploymentid and then things start getting a bit screwy. Is that supposed to happen?
