- **[Email-to-Case Limits and Limitations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.email_to_case_limits_and_limitations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Email-to-Case’s on-demand service keeps email traffic outside your network’s firewall and refuses emails that are too large.

- **[Guidelines for Email System Forwarding with Email-to-Case](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.customizesupport_forwarding_guidelines.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    When your customers send an email to a support address such as _support@mycompany.com_, your email provider forwards the email to Salesforce. How you configure email forwarding can impact whether Email-to-Case correctly attaches emails and responses to related cases. When email threading works properly, your service reps can grasp the full history of the customer’s email inquiry.
- **[Email-to-Case Considerations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.faq_cases_email.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Review considerations and limitations for Email-to-Case.
- **[Email-to-Case Threading](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.support_email_to_case_threading.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Email threading ensures that outgoing emails and incoming responses related to a customer inquiry are associated with the same case in Salesforce. Threaded emails appear in the case feed so service reps and supervisors can quickly grasp an inquiry’s history and status.
- **[Translate Service Email with Real-Time Translations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.email_translate_intro.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Allow service reps and customers to communicate in different languages via Service Email. When a customer sends an email to your business, a service rep can translate it into their own language in the case feed. When the rep is ready to reply, they can translate their response into the end user’s language in the email composer, and then send it.
