I would like to see an enhancement that enable being able to capture inbound emails in HubSpot with an "Add Email" button, similar to what Salesforce already has in place for MS Outlook desktop and Office 360. The current Hubspot method to capture email contents is lacking, as we need to reply to the sender (with the bcc email address includes) or forward to the Hubpsot forward address, which is not the best option. We already have two Hubspot ribbon items, one of which seems to have no purpose, so why not have a simple button that allows us to add an email to a contact & company record with the simple click of a ribbon button?
This is now live! You can see details here. If you are still experiencing issues, please do reach out to the HubSpot Support team for troubleshooting assistance. I will make sure your feedback about the associations gets back to the team!
Thank you all for taking the time to submit, vote and comment on this Idea.
I'm happy to announce that this feature is now In Beta. Admins can opt their portals in by following the instructions here and searching for "Log Emails to the CRM Retroactively".
We’ll be sure to update you here and on our Product Updates blog as soon as this feature is Delivered.

I also get the feedback from my sales team that this would be highly useful. It is easily forgotten to bcc hubspot, and it would be relatively simple to parse a sent email in a similar way than a received email to automatically associate the contacts in to: and cc instead of from: and cc:
A user should be able to add an email from sent items if they forgot to add the email when it was sent, and they should be able to select and add emails that have been received.
The forward email option is quite useless, as it displays in the contact's record that YOU chose to not track the email.
Also, when you read previously sent emails from Outlook, Hubspot records your opening of a tracked email has been opened by "Someone", even when you've set Hubspot to not track your own domain emails.
I am using the Gmail integration. I have set the "Log" unchecked by default because I send many non-sales related emails.
Sometimes, I forget to press "Log" on an email prior to sending. Or I receive an email in my inbox that I feel is relevant to a Hubspot contact so I would like to attach that to the record.
Is there a way to retroactively log emails to Hubspot from my sent items (after the email has been sent), or log emails that are received in my inbox, to a Hubspot record?
Using the forwarding address does not help if the email that I am forwarding has come from someone not related to the Contact or Company, for example from my accounts team or legal team and I want to log the email to a customer's record. Obviously my accounts team's email address will not be on a Contact or on the Company.
Is there a solution where I can selectively log an email from a third party to a Contact or Company?

We need the function to take an email from Outlook (after it is sent or received) and bring it into the contact's HubSpot record. Key functionality missing from HubSpot.
What a rediculous situation where needed functions are ignored for 3 years and you continue to push out functions that someone in Hubspot thinks might be a nice idea that many users don't want. I want a functional CRM that allows me to streamline my sales acitivities, make managing my accounts easier and ideally with no technical issues that your "support" people cannot replicate with the dialing function (that's another story). Then you decide to close for a week because your people are tired. What about your customers whom many are suffering due to COVID restrictions and still working hard to remain employed?
I'd like to add to this - not just contacts and companies but deals too. Often times I work with people who effect multiple deals but I don't want to add them to the deal. I want the ability to add just an email from them to a deal. Currently this can be accomplished by searching for their contact record, finding the email, and then adding an association to that email only. But why not have this ability right in the Gmail integration? The edit option in tracking only works as long as tracking stays on the email thread. If for any reason tracking stops you lose the edit option.
