Hi,

There are two ways do it..

1. You can download this free app from AppExchange https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N300000016cRqEAI  detailed install instructions here (https://sites.secure.force.com/appexchange/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P30000003TbnhEAC)

2. You'll need to write email services for this..Since you have a custom requirement, I'm not sure if the above app will be a best fit for you..So you need to know some apex to get started with this option. You can find a lot of resources online..but here is nice blog post on how to write an email service : http://blog.jeffdouglas.com/2010/03/12/writing-an-inbound-email-service-for-salesforce-com/

Hope it helps..!

Thanks,
Mohammed

Can you post the code that you've written for your email services..Also the complete format in which the email will be received + can you tell if its going to be a  fixed format or it will change from email to email

Here i am trying with this code and it's also taken from  the google but i added some more fields in this code...


global class CreateLead implements Messaging.InboundEmailHandler {
  global Messaging.InboundEmailResult handleInboundEmail(Messaging.inboundEmail email,
                                                       Messaging.InboundEnvelope env){
    // Create an InboundEmailResult object for returning the result of the 
    // Apex Email Service
    Messaging.InboundEmailResult result = new Messaging.InboundEmailResult();
    String myPlainText= '';

    // Add the email plain text into the local variable 
    myPlainText = email.plainTextBody;

    // Check for existing leads with this email address  
    Lead[] leads = [SELECT Id, Name, Email
                      FROM Lead
                      where Email =: email.fromAddress];

    if (leads.size() == 0) {
      // New Lead object to be created - set LastName and Company to
      // dummy values for simplicity
      Lead newLead = new Lead(Email = email.fromAddress,
        LastName = 'From Email',
        Company = 'From Email',
        Country='From Email',
        Industry='From Email');
      // Insert a new lead
      insert newLead;   

      System.debug('New Lead record: ' + newLead );  
    } else {
      System.debug('Incoming email duplicates existing Lead record(s): ' + leads );   
    }

    // Set the result to true. No need to send an email back to the user     
    // with an error message  
    result.success = true;

    // Return the result for the Apex Email Service
    return result;
  }
}
