You can setup a forward rule on the external email address that forwards all mail to the specified person in CRM then set that persons CRM email options to Track all email.

Thank Donna your suggestion was great. okay so i set up a workflow to create a case once a mail is received from this box and assigned to a perticular agent. the case description is populated with the message from the mail. But i noticed that the message populates as an HTML script. is there a way to make just the message body appear without the HTML tags?

You'll need to create a custom workflow and strip out the html tags or not use that to populate the case body. The email body in CRM is populated with html tags.

hi donna. when you say a custom workflow, does that mean i have to write one? also are there other ways to populate the body of the description field on the case form?

Yes, you would have to write a custom workflow to strip out the html tags. You can populate the description field with whatever you want but if you want the body of the email then you have to find a way to strip out the html tags.
