Automatic tracking of contact interactions

A computer system for tracking correspondence between a plurality of users and contacts in a tracking system, the system comprising:

• a processor configured to execute said tracking system, the tracking system is structured such that a plurality of users coordinate managing interactions with a given contact, and for different contacts, there being different activity records of the tracking system;
• and
• a memory with computer software instructions stored thereon, the computer software instructions include implementations of at least the following:
• a mail transfer module to monitor electronic mail messages between the plurality of users and the given contact and to automatically make a copy of an electronic mail message for the tracking system;
• a parsing module to parse the copy of the electronic mail message to determine a sender and a recipient of the electronic mail message, and to search a database of the tracking system for the sender and the recipient;
• and
• a tracking module to add the copy of the electronic mail message to an activity record for the given contact in the database, if the sender or the recipient is the given contact found in the database, the activity record containing a log of ongoing interaction between the given contact and the plurality of users.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable program codes embodied therein, the computer readable medium comprising:

• a portion of the computer readable medium enabling computer readable program codes that configure a processor to track correspondence between a plurality of users and contacts in a tracking system, the computer readable medium program codes including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• execute said tracking system, the tracking system is structured such that a plurality of users coordinate managing interactions with a given contact, wherein the tracking system is executed to:
• monitor electronic mail messages between the plurality of users and the given contact;
• automatically make a copy of an electronic mail message for the tracking system;
• parse the copy of the electronic mail message to determine a sender and a recipient of the electronic mail message;
• search a database of the tracking system for the sender and the recipient;
• and
• add the copy of the electronic mail message to an activity record for the given contact in the database, if the sender or the recipient is the given contact found in the database, the activity record being associated with the tracking system containing a log of ongoing interaction between the given contact and the plurality of users.
