Suppose one of your customers sent you an email outside of Supportress. Maybe they found your personal email address on the Internet, or they already had it and chose to start a discussion using that.
You want to move the discussion into Supportress in order to take advantage of its collaborative features and work with your team to craft the best response.
Each member in your Supportress organization has a unique personal forwarding address per queue. They can forward any email as an attachment to it.
