Basically, I'm doing that now. Mostly, I do this because
I store e-mails I receive from clients and others for
future searches or research. Originally, I just used the
e-mail address as the grouping but there were problems
with that. If Joe Citizen had more than one e-mail
address he/she used, then and had two or more different
groups.
The only way that I can find that will allow me to go to
a Contact in my address book and look at that person's
activity is to use the "Contact" field. That ties
everything together neatly under activities.
It works great for e-mails or any appointments, notes,
etc that I great as long as I start from the contact and
create the "whatever" for them.
It's the receiving of the e-mail that's a problem. The
rules are great except Outlook doesn't seem to be able to
match e-mail address to contact name.
Hopefully someone has a better idea or a solution.
Thanks for adding to the conversation.
