accounts not attaching in email module

Hi Zach, 

It depends on how those emails are being archived. Do you know how the emails were brought into Sugar? Or are they records of emails sent from Sugar? They may be implicitly related. Have you checked out the Application Guide for the Emails module? It broadly explains emails and their relationships:

Let me know how those emails got into Sugar and I can provide more information for you! (although probably not till Monday, sorry! :) ) 

Happy Friday!

Hi Raye,

  Sorry i have been traveling for work. The emails are gmail synced, so that sync is bringing them in based on the contact email.  

to give a little more clarity, its not all emails. it seems to be limited to certain accounts. on the account module i will see the emails in the email subpanel but in the subpanel the related field is blank. this process seems to be working 80-90% of the time but with some accounts its just doesnt and I am not sure what could be the cause. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the additional information, Zach!

It sounds like those specific emails with a blank "related" field have been added via SNIP, an email archiving service that archives emails with an implicit relationship. The related field can be populated manually, but archiving in this way will not fill out that field automatically.

You can learn more about SNIP here: https://support.sugarcrm.com/documentation/sugar_versions/14.0/ent/application_guide/emails/#Sugar_Email_Archiving_Service

If you think this is wrong, please let me know! I am happy to look further.
