Automatically Assign an Email fron a Queue
I have a queue set up for my Service department that all emails sent to support@companyname.co.uk go to.
When an email comes in regarding an existing case it has the CRM Tracking number on it. Is there a way to automatically assign this email to the engineer who owns the regarding case, therefore removing it from the main Queue into their individual Queue? If not is there a way to get a notification to the engineer that the email has arrived?
I would assume workflows but I can't see how to do it as there is no link from an email to a queue that I can find.

Hi feridun, good answer - I've put it into practice however I'm getting stuck when trying to change the owner. I have my workflow set up to update the Email Duration, Due Date and Owner.
The workflow updates Email Duration and Due Date but can't seem to update the Owner. I think this may be something to do with the email having a status of Received and the Owner field being locked down.
Any ideas?

Simple but effective solution!
You want to do something when e-mails arrive, so the workflow trigger should be the create event. I don't think you can test if the e-mail is assigned to a queue but you could test the To: address of the e-mail to see if it is the queue. So you will catch all e-mails sent to your service queue.
Then you can use workflow to assign the e-mail to someone and/or send an e-mail to let the engineer know that the e-mail has arrived.
