In a business context emails are a very important communication channel. Customers like to
communicate using email because it's so simple. Replying to emails will keep your history,
and you can attach everything you want and send it to your business partner.

You can use it to hold all the information important in your company, it will be searchable and
available.
To bring the two concepts together is the idea behind mailtoplone.
Starting such a marriage isn't that easy, because Plone is huge and so are Emails nowadays, having people
organizing their entire life inside their mail client. To give it a start let's think about two
major principles:

You can't think about emails without thinking about rules. Rules help you to conquer the process
of organizing the flood of emails floating through the world wide web.
