better context, productivity, and customer
experience, using methods like the Outlook Add-

Symptoms of Dynamics 365 Email Tracking Not Working
Symptoms of failed Dynamics 365 email tracking include
the "Track and Set Regarding" options being disabled or
missing in the Outlook App, emails showing as "Track
Pending" indefinitely, attachments missing (replaced by
"ATP Scan in Progress"), or emails not appearing in
Dynamics 365 at all, often pointing to inactive Server-Side
Sync, incorrect user settings, or conflicts with Office 365
security features like Safe Attachments.
What to Do if Dynamics 365 Email Tracking Not Working
● Check Server-Side Sync: Verify mailbox status and test settings in
Dynamics 365.
● Review Defender Settings: Adjust Safe Attachments policies if
attachments are the issue.
● Verify Mailbox Configuration: Ensure the user's email address is correct
and the mailbox is active.
● Adjust Tracking Rules: Modify personal options or routing rules to
capture more emails.
Underlying Causes of Dynamics 365 Email Tracking Not Working
● Inactive Server-Side Synchronization: The core sync engine isn't running for
the user's mailbox.
● Inactive Mailbox: The mailbox status in Dynamics 365 is marked as inactive.
● Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (Safe Attachments): Dynamic Delivery
settings can cause a delay or miss the original attachment before sync.
● User & Queue Conflicts: An email sent to one address might be intercepted
by a queue that accepts all emails, overriding user settings.
● Incorrect Personal Options: User settings might be too restrictive, preventing
tracking.
Conclusion
Dynamics 365 email tracking issues usually stem from
misconfigured server profiles, mailbox settings, security roles, or
email filtering rules, requiring checks in Settings > Email
Configuration for Mailboxes (Server-Side Sync success/alerts),
Email Server Profiles (correlation settings), and App Designer
(dashboard enabled), ensuring correct user association and
synchronized email addresses, as solutions involve enabling
settings, clearing caches, and testing mailboxes until errors are
resolved in the Alert section.
