I've done a bit of reading on this to confirm my understanding. Not had a chance to test this yet but the situation is:
Incoming replies to emails sent from the HubSpot CRM or a connected Office 365 (with tracking turned on) account should be logged in the CRM timeline.
If the incoming email is not a reply to a tracked email or from a contact not yet in the CRM, you can manually log it by forwarding it to the CRM. Emails forwarded like this will be appended to an existing contact or a new contact created if they do not exist.
It looks to me that the automated logging of replies does require the desktop version of Outlook with the HubSpot Sale extension installed and webmail will not be able to do it. This is described here: Can Outlook 365 log emails in the HubSpot CRM?
Hi @Phil_Vallender, thanks for your incredibly detailed and thoughtful reply! It actually looks as though a new thread was created instead of replying to the user's original thread. However, you've offered just the right steps for the user here. I've also directed them to another existing thread on email replies not logging, in case their issue persists after your troubleshooting steps.
