Is it possible to extract the "From" email address from an incoming email to a sharepoint list and populate a column within the list. If yes could you please direct me on how this is done or some documentation on this. Appreciate any ideas.

Answer 1

you could set up a list with an itemupdated event receiver which modifies the from address of the incoming email

 

you will find here the code for modifying this parameter (and others), you will just need to wrap it in the event receiver.

 

Hope it helps.

Sravan,

You can use the SPEmailEventReceiver  too:
