Good morning Alex, Thanks for your quick response. My comments are below.
How do I show that the customer emailed an address other than the otrs pop3 support@example.org address? That is, if the customer emails a tech >>directly?
I don't undertstand that question. Please be more precise.
I've configured otrs to poll support@example.org for incoming mail. Unfortunately, not all of my customers send support requests to this address -- some send them to john.doe@example.org (because John Doe has been particularly helpful in the past) and some customers physically stop my support personnel in the hallway and ask them for help. I suppose what I'm asking for is the addition of the following communication types: email (inbound and outbound) telephone (inbound and outbound) fax (inbound and outbound) face-to-face (inbound and outbound) instant message (inbound and outbound) etc. (I suppose there's no reason that these shouldn't be user-configurable.) If the developers slightly modify the interface this would probably be simple easy to implement. If instead of having 'Phone-Ticket' and 'Email-Ticket' buttons they had 'Inbound Contact' and 'Outbound Contact' then the user would be able to specify the communication type on the following screen. Thanks for your time, Cory
