Matter Management Structure

When Matter Management receives a request email, it checks the message ID of the received email. If this message ID matches an existing case, the received e-mail is linked to the existing case.

In more detail, it uses the Message-ID contained in the References header, which is present on the message header of the email, and matches it against the Message-ID on the message header of the email tied within the existing case.

*Subject names are not used for matching. Therefore, if the subject does not meet the above criteria, even if the subject matches, a new form will be created without being linked to an existing form.
