email flows between agents and customers

Hi all I'm new to OTRS and I'm have a problem with the setup I think. I want to setup OTRS so every email/conversation between customers and agents(always using their outlook, not the web interfaces) get recorded into the ORTS. i.e: Customer reports a problem via email -> OTRS OTRS assings this new ticket to an agent -> OTRS sends email to agent agent answer to customer using email -> OTRS -> customer customer answers agent via email -> OTRS - > agent and so on.... When I worked with RT, I remember this setup was possible..... is it in ORTS? thx

This seems to be a frequently asked question....
OTRS is not meant to be used like you mentioned, agents are supposed
to work from the web interface and not from their mail clients.
However, please find below a post from Boyan Tabakov from the mailing
list archives who discusses the changes he made to achieve the
behaviour you were looking for:

And, as you stated, RT has the behaviour you are looking for
out-of-the-box; that also might be an option for you.
Kind regards,

Mr Beijen in which part of the code do I need to have a look in order to OTRS send by email to the customer the agent's followup? Reading the link you'd send, I think that's very interesting to set X-OTRS- Followup-SenderType=agent, and then, OTRS'd send back to the customer this agent's followup.... I hope yo understand me.....sorry my english..... :) thx in advance and regards On Miércoles 04 Marzo 2009 16:17:56 Michiel Beijen wrote:
