As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.
We would like to to add sent emails automatically to certain folders. What solution would you suggest?
For example; a mail sent to a customer is also sent in bcc to a certain address. Upon receiving this bcc-address triggers a process that stores the mail and add the contents of this mail (body mail + attachments) into the corresponding smart folder. A specified range of characters in the topic line determines (e.g. 7 characters within brackets) the targeted folder (example mail header: To: cus@tomer.com bcc: 123store@alfresco.com Topic: Reaction on proposal BM1999B [BM1999B])
How can we have Alfresco do this trick?
Not exactly what you need, but maybe will help:
You can configure inbound SMTP server https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p17GkHsLdmc (old video but will give you overview). You have to create folders and aliases (e.g. email addresses) to receive e-mails into these folders.

Upon receiving, alfresco will split e-mail into more files (https://hub.alfresco.com/t5/alfresco-content-services-forum/how-to-stop-splitting-inbound-smtp-email-into-3-files/td-p/138931) and you can expect duplicate file name exceptions also, so not quite a 100% working solution out-of-the box.
