CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Whilst setting up CiviMail I came across the following article:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Autofiling+email+activities+via+EmailProcessor

This could solve a gap in our recorded activity with our constituents as much email activity goes on outside civicrm..

I've set up mail accounts in the admin section and a site key and run the link as given in the above article..

I get errors -

It fetches 50 emails
Then for each one it reports:

"Failed Processing: <email subject> Reason: Missing Activity fetching message 1 and putting it in the ignored mailbox"

After the 50 it reports:

"Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.

No clue about the ezcMailMultipartReport

Return to home page."

There are a load of files in the ignored mailbox (under sites/default/files/civicrm/custom/CiviMail.ignored/etc...) which I can't read, but are presumably mail files that some client could read. - I need to understand this but that's another learning curve!

I get the impression that the first ("Missing Activity") is not a coding error, but rather my user error - that I have missed out on the obvious and somehow I should tell the script what activity type to link into...

Can anyone enlighten me please?

Brilliant, thanks.
