Has anyone else noticed a sudden change in how Salesforce handles inbound .eml attachments via Email-to-Case recently?

The Setup: We have government customers who, for security compliance, regularly send case details, reproduction steps, and screenshots packaged inside .eml file attachments.

The Issue:

  • Previously: Salesforce successfully ingested the file wrapper and stored it as a clean .eml file under the Files/Attachments related list. Agents could download it, and it would open seamlessly in Microsoft Outlook with all formatting intact.
  • Now: Salesforce appears to be actively stripping or parsing the .eml extension upon ingestion. The file is being split into separate, unformatted .txt and .html files (or the extension is stripped entirely upon download), forcing agents to manually re-append .eml to the filename just to read it.

Troubleshooting Done: We checked File Type Security settings (/lightning/setup/FileTypeSetting/home), but .eml isn't a standard option available to modify download behavior. I also pulled up a historical case from right before the platform behavior changed, and verified that the exact same

type of inbound email previously imported perfectly as a single .eml file. 

 

This feels like a recent backend regression or a quiet change to the platform's file-scanning/MIME-type engine. Related to Summer 26 release. (Maybe this: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_experiences_files_malware_scanning.htm&release=262&type=5

) ? 

 

I’ve reopened a case with Salesforce Support. Is anyone else seeing this behavior in their orgs, or has anyone found a workaround that doesn't involve forcing agents to manually rename extensions all day? 

 

Appreciate any insights!

Hi 

I am trying to create the Case Hierarchy coupling that we have in the Case object. 

Creating an Ultimate Case Hierarchy

There are 8 cases related to the Original Case 

  

The Parent Case number doesn't display all the Related Case 

 

I create a formula field - Case Hierarchy  

 

BLANKVALUE(Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.CaseNumber,  

BLANKVALUE(Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.CaseNumber,  

BLANKVALUE(Parent.Parent.Parent.CaseNumber,  

BLANKVALUE(Parent.Parent.CaseNumber,  

BLANKVALUE(Parent.CaseNumber,  

CaseNumber))))) 

 

but this does not capture all related cases

related Cases.jpg

 

I can't figure out a way to capture on the linkage - any advise who be appreciated

We created a new email-to-case configuration and new organization-wide email address in a sandbox. The configuration was done by our Release Management user (which doesn't have the System Administrator profile).    End users received their respective verification emails but were unable to complete the verification process. They clicked on the link in the email which opened up a browser window with the Verify Email Address button. After clicking on the Verify Email Address button, the browser screen appeared to be refreshing or reloading for several minutes and never displayed a confirmation message. We confirmed the verifications were still pending in setup.    We worked with multiple users and retriggered the verifications multiple times (ensuring that links in the email were only clicked on once) but the only way we could get a successful verification was if the person retriggering the verification and clicking on the link in the email had the System Administrator profile.    I submitted a Salesforce Support case to inquire if there was a process change. The resolution indicated that there might be an issue with a Summer '26 patch and timing of user verification of email addresses on their own user record in our sandboxes. We did some light experimentation in other sandboxes but still couldn't get the verifications completed without a System Administrator. Given the resolution we had been provided, it seemed that we shouldn't encounter the issue in production so we moved forward and created the email-to-case and organization-wide email address in production.    Unfortunately, we had the same issue in production so someone with the System Administrator profile both retriggered the verification emails and clicked on the verification link in those emails.   

Has anyone else encountered this behavior?    TL;DR, someone with the System Administrator profile had to trigger the verification email AND click on the verification link in that email in order to successfully verify new email-to-case and organization-wide email addresses.

     Thanks for sharing this experience. We have observed similar behavior in sandbox environments where email address verification appears to remain pending unless the process is completed by a user with System Administrator permissions. Given the information from Salesforce Support, this may be related to a platform issue rather than a configuration problem. It would be helpful to know if others have seen the same behavior in Summer '26 sandboxes or if it has been resolved in production environments.

I just did the migration for knowledge to Lightning in our sandbox. How do users handle Article Management in Lightning Knowledge? Specifically archiving. Salesforce's documentation is pretty bad for this, or I'm bad at searching for it. The Article Management tab doesn't seem to exist in lightning. I also can't see the archive button in Lightning, even though the button is on the page layouts. Additionally, when looking at the Article Management tab in classic mode, I can see the archive button but when I click it on an article I get "The article was not archived because of insufficient privileges or a conflict." I'm the only one touching knowledge in our sandbox so there shouldn't be a conflict; I have modify all on Knowledge and Manage Articles permissions so I don't know what privileges would be missing. This is supremely frustrating, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi @Adam Ronhovde, To show the archive button on lightning you have to edit the page layout to include the button. To enable those buttons you have to edit the Knowledge LSF Permission Set - App Permissions on Service Setup.

I noticed that the activity timeline in my case object only shows outbound emails, and inbound emails are missing. Could someone please advise how to display inbound emails too?

Hi everyone,

I’m working with Omni-Channel + Messaging (Enhanced Messaging) in Salesforce.

Currently, when no agents are available, the chat request stays waiting in the queue indefinitely. I want to limit this waiting time.

Requirement:  If no agent comes online within 5 minutes, I want the customer to automatically receive a message like “No agents are available right now. Please contact us later.”  After this, the chat should end or be removed from the queue.

Question:  Is there any built-in feature, setting, or recommended approach to implement a timeout for queued chat requests in Enhanced Messaging?  If not, what workaround or best practice is suggested?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Yashi,

    In omni channel flow you can calculate thr wait time . Then what you'll do is if the wait time is greater than 5 mins you can give a custom message and that'll be sent to agent.

    I did something similar. If agent is unavailable send a message. It worked.

    Flow element name - Check Agent Availablity.

    Thanks

Hi all,    We need to be able to send brand new emails from cases but Salesforce standard functionality populates the To, Subject & email body with the case email chain.    Does anyone know how we can add an option to send a brand new email so we don't have to keep clearing out these fields before writing our new email?    Thank you  Lorraine

    Create a Screen Flow + Send Email Action 

    •  Build a Screen Flow that asks for: 
      •  To 
      •  Subject 
      •  Body 
    •  Use the Send Email core action.

We are doing some trials with Claude Cowork on our support team, their mailboxes and service documentation.  

 

Anyone done anything good to integrate Claude Cowork into Salesforce case management. Would be interesting to get ideas on what can be done. Case creation, case updation etc.

    Hi Joakim,

    One use case I can think of is having Claude summarize long email threads or case histories and automatically generate a concise case summary for agents. That alone could save a significant amount of time. 

     

    It could also assist with drafting case responses, suggesting knowledge articles, or generating recommended next steps based on similar resolved cases.

    For case creation and updates, I'd see Claude working best as a copilot that proposes values or summaries, while Salesforce Flows or Apex handle the actual record creation and field updates to maintain governance and auditability. 

     

    I'd be interested to hear how others are integrating external AI assistants alongside Salesforce's native Agentforce capabilities.

    Can you confirm the access to omni channel features, service cloud objects, service cloud license? Make sure all are available.
