One of the great SharePoint 2007 features is the ability to e-mails into your site – that means you can save documents to a SharePoint library by attaching them to an e-mail and sending it to SharePoint. While this feature is great for document libraries, you can’t just send an e-mail to a list. This tutorial shows you how to e-mail enable a list using SharePoint Designer 2007 and a workflow attached to a list and a library. This tutorial and many more are located at blog.sharepointhosting.com. Enjoy.

cheers atab0y, i am having this problem too – just created the workflow in Sharepoint Designer 2007 linking the doc library to the issues list in Sharepoint 2007, but nothing happens when i send in an email. I will try this fix.

@Parsa1859, this was happening to me at first – i had to create a basic Sharepoint website first (this is listed in the Admin tasks), then restart IIS before the workflow icons show up in Designer.

This is correct. Sharepoint SP1 changed the way the workflows work. The infrastructure update fixed this issue but you you have to run a stsadm command to enable it to work with the new methods. The command is (stsadm -o setproperty -pn declarativeworkflowautostartonemailenabled -pv true) without the parenthesis from the kb articles (953289 and 953749)

After some research, it appears that this may have been broken with Service Pack 1. That may be my problem. Can anyone else confirm this?

It has been my experience that workflows on e-mail enabled libraries in SharePoint don’t fire on item creation. Have you done anything special to get this to work?

this is nice and quick and the scope is small which is good, I’m just having trouble reading it.
