Is anyone aware of a product/plug in to Outlook that would automatically search the e-mail address of the inbound e-mail sender, query it against an existing contact list in outlook, personal address book or other database (*say, Access), and record the text content of the e-mail (e.g. the subject of the e-mail, the day and time it was sent and the body of the message) automatically into the file if it recognizes the sender ?

The purpose of this would be to identify a known e-mail address (*say, from a firm's clientelle) and then record the e-mail record into an "activity" file or correspondence log in a database. Saving a copy of sent items serves a similar purpose for a single user but it's limitations appear to be 1.) it's only for one user so other's might not be able to view all correspondence as is the case within a shared database 2.) you have to actually respond to the message for an item to be placed in the sent items folder.

QuickFile 4Outlook (www.addins4outlook.com) may be able to achieve what you
want. It provides an easy way to file e-mails in folders.
