Emails Related to Projects in PWA

I'm trying to figure out a solution for being able to see emails related to
Projects in PWA. We're almost there in being able to have all information
related to a project in the same place (PWA), but we're missing all that
information stuck in people's .PST files or in the Exchange database.

Has anyone solved this problem?

One scenario I'm thinking about is to create an Exchange mailbox for a
project and then cc that mailbox with emails related to the project. I have
no idea how to see the emails...maybe using the Outlook Web Access web
part...but I don't know how to make it validate the project mailbox instead
of the logged in user's mailbox.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dean Beckley

This may not answer your question fully (or maybe at all)

Emails can be saved from inside outlook in various formats including plain text . . these can be uploaded into WSS . . .

You can of course opt to save only key emails or all . . .

If you save many emails as files WSS does allow you to upload them all in one go.

I hope this helps.

Chris,

Good thought. This is too manual of a process though...I need some way of
automating the association of emails to projects.

Thanks,
Dean

Thinking further about this post...MS CRM does something similar to this
when using the Outlook client...there is a Regarding tab where one can make
an email regarding an account...then when viewing the account, one can see
all the respective emails. This is the kind of thing I'd like to see in
Project Server.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dean

Gary,

I had an inkling that SPS would help somehow...can you direct me to some
documentation?

Thanks,

Dean:

Depending on your appetite for technical detail, I'd start with the
homepages for these products for overviews and drill down into the
documentation on TechNet and then MSDN.
