When I add an email to a contact, it adds it to the Activity History.

In most cases, I prefer to add it to Open Activities.

Right now I am forced to go to the Contact window in Salesforce, edit the email in Activity History by changing the Status from Completed to Not Started or In Progress.

Isn't there some way to send the email to Salesforce as an Open Activity, with a Status of Not Started or In Progress?

This would be very helpful to me, and I'm sure to others as well.

Thanks....David

I am using Maildrop, which is posting sent and received emails to the Activity History as a completed task.

I would much prefer to post them to Open Activities.

Is there some way of doing this?

Maildrop for mac using from address instead of to address when adding email from sent folder.

Any Ideas? 

I'm transferring from using the CRM package Daylite which has great email integration with Apple Mail. 

I'm evaluating Absolute Automation and MailDrop.  

I like MailDrop better.  Apart from being free, it allows one to be smart about which emails to link versus the inclusive approach of AA.

Am I missing anything?

Although, I wish MailDrop had the ability to link an email to an Account, Opportunity, and Contact all in one click.  It appears to take multipe iterations.

Are there are advantages to AA that I'm missing?
