We are currently designing a system to handle help desk functionality.

One of the things we want to do, is to allow a user to send an email, that will trigger the creation and start of a workflow.

Is this possible using standard functionality in SharePoint 2010?

I am unsure about SharePoint 2010 but one thing that you can do with SharePoint 2007 is to Enable a List to Receive Emails and once the Email is added to the List / Lib you can configure the Workflow on Item Added.

PS:This answer will help someone who want to do it in the SharePoint 2007.

haven't tested it but sounds like a good solution – Jaap Vossers Nov 17 at 15:14
Thanks, with your answer I knew what to search for, there is a function call EMailRouting in 2010 that does this. furuknap.blogspot.com/2009/10/… – Shiraz Bhaiji Nov 17 at 15:56
